The #Atacama #Desert in #Chile has the world's highest elevation geysers and endless salt flats. #Laguna Tebinquinche is our favorite lagoon with turquoise water and white salt crystal outcrops.

Пустыня Атакама расположена высоко над уровнем моря, влажность низкая, так что это идеальное место для наблюдения за звездами. Недаром там расположено много телескопов. Конечно, я сначала купил билеты, и только потом посмотрел календарь фаз Луны. В результате практически на полнолуние попал-в самое неудачное время.
За прошедший год руки так и не дошли обработать фото звёздного неба, но когда-нибудь займусь.

The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) started its journey from Duisburg to the Chilean Atacama Desert in January.
Now it has arrived at the 5600 m high Cerro Chajnantor! 
The high-tech telescope has two six-meter mirrors and innovative technology.
There should be new insights into the formation of the first stars and galaxies after the Big Bang.

Cette semaine, nous testions l'optique adaptative de l'instrument #GRAVITY+ de l'interféromètre du #VLT (#VLTI). Avant l'installation des étoiles laser sur les télescopes unitaires 1, 2 et 3, nous avons qualifié le système avec le télescope 4, équipé d'étoiles lasers depuis des années pour d'autres instruments.
J'étais au QG de l'@esoastronomy en Allemagne, mais Anthony Berdeu était sur place et a pu capturer la magie de la #Lune dans le désert d'#Atacama.

Some wildlife on the Chilean Atacama from a couple of weeks ago. The first, the Viscacha, looks remarkably like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel but is actually a rodent and lives amongst the rocks. The second is the South American Gray Fox, or the Patagonian Fox, which is found solely in Chile and Argentina #Chile #Atacama

This study overturns the idea that N. mollis absorbs water from an unsaturated atmosphere. Instead, its success likely comes from deep roots + unique salt tolerance. (7/7)

The earth's driest place, #Atacama Desert, was formed much more recently than scientists used to believe. Artifacts, such as hunting tools, of settlers who roamed around 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, have been found by archaeologists throughout the now desert area. The well known Chinchorro Mummies dated back to 5,000 years old were the people who turned the forests into agricultural land and planted maize using pre-Hispanic bronze tools. #climatechange #deforestation
