I can share this! There are 4836 insects in the new insect display! It focuses on biodiversity and current biodiversity loss. Each specimen has a printed, hand cut label underneth to show exactly where it has come from in the collections.

Direct imaging of exoplanets is not an easy thing to do! Firstly, to get a sharp image of the star we're observing, adaptive optics are required to correct for the perturbed wavefront from the star caused by the Earth's atmosphere The @ESO VLT does 1000s of times a second!

1/20 Happy 20th anniversary UT4! Do you know this giant telescope, part of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at @ESO ’s Paranal Observatory? You might recognise it from its cool lasers pointing at the sky. Does this sound like science fiction? We open this thread to tell the story.
