Man-made star shines in the southern sky

ESO astronomers have been able to create an 'artificial star' 90 km high in the atmosphere, using a laser beam. This star can be put at any point in the sky, and it enables the adaptive optics of the VLT telescope to be used throughout the visible sky. Until now, adaptive optics required the light of a strong natural star as a reference; now, the artificial star will do this. The new technology enlarges the field of vision of the most powerful telescope on Earth.ESApod video programme...

Integral views the Earth

Integral is ESA's 4-year-old orbiting astrophysics observatory, and is designed to look upwards into deep space to observe some of the universe's most violent sources, including exploding supernova stars and black holes. Recently, spacecraft controllers reoriented integral to look down in a unique Earth observation campaign designed in part to study what happens when the Earth's disk blocks the high-energy background radiation....

Sciamachy observes air pollution

The Sciamachy instrument on ESA's Envisat satellite is a powerful monitor of global air pollution. This programme provides an overview of recent interesting observations. These include the rapid increase of pollution in China over the past ten years, notably of nitrogen dioxide in the Beijing area, and unexplained sources of the greenhouse gas methane in the Ganges valley in India. Also air pollution in industrialised regions of Europe is highlighted.ESApod video programme...

Smallest planet outside Solar System discovered

The discovery of the first Earth-like planet outside our own Solar system was announced on 26 January 2005 by the scientific journal 'Nature'. This planet is not made of gas like all previously observed exoplanets but features a solid crust, like the Earth. It was detected using a promising new technique, with a telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) located in Chile. With the detection of more such planets, the search for extraterrestrial life will enter a new phase of exploration...
