Thanks to meteorites, you can own a piece of the Moon or Mars.
Did you know that thanks to impactites, you can own a piece of a comet?
Impactites are rocks formed when a meteor or asteroid slams into the Earth with great force, melting the target rock into a combination of earth rock and cosmic impactor. That is what happened thousands of years ago in what is now Chile's Atacama desert.

Conclusion: snow is not just cold, it’s a signal
Snow in the desert is not just a joyful natural spectacle. It’s a dangerous signal indicating that the balance in the global climate system is being disturbed. The Atacama Desert once again reminds people of the importance of living in harmony with nature
In Atacama, Chile's driest desert, lettuce is grown with fog water
In Chile's arid Atacama, the driest desert in the world, growers and researchers are looking to harness water from the very air itself to grow lettuces and lemons, using a net to catch drops of moisture from fog.

Valle de los Cactus by Pablo Ruiz
A panoramic shot of the Milky Way in a remote area of the Atacama cactus valley, known for its large concentration of cactus plants. The panorama was taken just as the galactic centre began to rise, with the spectacular Gum Nebula visible on the right.

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
