It’s cold, it’s dry, the air is thin. The nearest city is miles away across a barren landscape of boulder-strewn hills. At night, the only lights to guide you are the stars in the sky. Astronomers, welcome to paradise.
In the new time-lapse movie above, photographers Christoph Malin and Babak Tafreshi (founder of The World at Night, or TWAN, program) offer a rarely seen glimpse of Cerro Paranal, one of the high hills in the Atacama that houses instruments for the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
Sometimes i wish i was such a bad ass with Math & Physics back in school ! Isn’t Astronomy & universe most amazing thing ever ? Possibly the only thing that can make your mind wander and explore strange places even beyond the art & music.
