A Cosmic Mystery: ESO Telescope Captures the Disappearance of a Massive Star
Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered the absence of an unstable massive star in a dwarf galaxy. Scientists think this could indicate that the star became less bright and partially...
Solar Orbiter připraven na vědu koronaviru navzdory
Sonda Solar Orbiter, vyslaná Evropskou kosmickou agenturou (ESA) zkoumat Slunce, má za sebou čtyři měsíce aktivace a technického ověřování. I přes obtíže způsobené epidemií koronaviru je nyní družice připravena plnit na cestě k naší...
Hot stars are plagued by giant magnetic spots, ESO data shows
Astronomers using European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes have discovered giant spots on the surface of extremely hot stars hidden in stellar clusters. Not only are these stars plagued by magnetic spots, some also experience superflare...
ESO Telescope Sees Signs of Planet Birth
Observations made with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have revealed the telltale signs of a planetary system being born. Around the young star AB Aurigae lies a dense disc of dust and gas in which astronomers...
Sucho v České republice je viditelné z vesmíru
Dlouhé období suchého počasí v České republice zapříčinilo situaci, již odborníci nazývají „nejhorším suchem za 500 let“. Vědci monitorují sucho, které zemi sevřelo, pomocí dat ze satelitů ESA.

ESO Instrument Finds Closest Black Hole to Earth
A team of astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and other institutes has discovered a black hole lying just 1000 light-years from Earth. The black hole is closer to our Solar System than any other found to date and forms part of...
Mapování černobylských požárů z vesmíru
S rozšířením lesních požárů ohrožujících uzavřenou černobylskou jadernou elektrárnu na Ukrajině došlo k aktivaci služby CEMS (Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service). Družice systému Copernicus Sentinel-2 pak pořídil snímky požárů a...
ESO Telescope Sees Star Dance Around Supermassive Black Hole, Proves Einstein Right
Observations made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have revealed for the first time that a star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way moves just as predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Its orbit...

Zoom past Earth with BepiColombo in virtual reality simulation
Video: 00:02:55 With a simple Google Cardboard-style virtual reality (VR) viewer, you can experience how it feels to be a spacecraft hurtling past Earth. This 360-degree VR simulation of a flyby manoeuvre performed by ESA’s...
Top Five Mercury mysteries that BepiColombo will solve
Mercury is a desert world which scientists until recently considered quite uninteresting. NASA’s Mariner and MESSENGER missions, however, revealed that there is much more to the smallest and innermost planet of the Solar System than meets the...
Rethinking cosmology: Universe expansion may not be uniform
Astronomers have assumed for decades that the Universe is expanding at the same rate in all directions. A new study based on data from ESA’s XMM-Newton, NASA’s Chandra and the German-led ROSAT X-ray observatories suggests this key premise of...
CryoSat still cool at 10
Today marks 10 years since a Dnepr rocket blasted off from an underground silo in the remote desert steppe of Kazakhstan, launching one of ESA’s most remarkable Earth-observing satellites into orbit. Tucked safely within the rocket fairing,...
