In addition to holding a PhD in astrophysics, the guitarist is a science team collaborator for NASA's <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/main/">New Horizons</a> mission, which flew past Pluto in July 2015.</p><p>ESO therefore decided to invite Brian May to come to Paranal while he was in Santiago, Chile, as part of his current South American Queen <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%2B_Adam_Lambert_Tour_2014%E2%80%932015">tour</a> with Queen drummer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Taylor_(Queen_drummer)">Roger Taylor</a> and American singer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lambert">Adam Lambert</a>.</p><p>ESO’s <a href="http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt/">Paranal Observatory</a> is located 130 kilometres south of Antofagasta, in the arid Chilean Atacama Desert. It is home to the four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes and four 1.8-metre Auxiliary Telescopes of ESO’s <a href="http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt/">Very Large Telescope</a>. Paranal is one of the best sites for observational astronomy in the world.</p><p>Touring the facilities, May visited the telescopes at the summit of Cerro Paranal and spent the night at Paranal’s award-winning Residencia, which houses the staff working on site at the observatory.</p><p>The guitarist was welcomed in the observatory control room by the observing teams as an honorary visiting astronomer; and Monday evening’s activities included securing images of the asteroid named after him, the planet Pluto, and the celebrated Pillars of Creation (These observations did not affect the normal science operations of the telescopes. They were made at a time when poor seeing and full Moon meant that no other observations could be scheduled.).</p><p>May studied for his PhD degree at Imperial College London. His doctoral thesis (spanning 30 years!) focused on properties of the zodiacal light, a misty diffuse cone of light scattered by dust in the Solar System that appears in western skies after sunset and in eastern skies before sunrise. On a dark and clear night, Paranal is one of the best places on Earth to see this elusive feature of the sky, and, indeed, in a small window between sunset and moonrise last night, the evening Zodiacal Cone was seen and photographed by the team at Paranal.</p></div></div><div class="visit"><div class="date">8. april 2014</div><h2>Rick Astley Visits ESO in Santiago</h2><div class="archive-image popup"><a class="popup" href="https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/stars1401a.jpg" title="Rick Astley during his visit to ESO Office in Santiago"><div class="image-container"><img class="img-responsive" src="https://cdn.eso.org/images/newsfeature/stars1401a.jpg" class="img-responsive"></div></a><div class="enlarge"><a href="/public/images/stars1401a/">Download and more information</a></div></div><div class="visit-text"><p><a href="http://www.rickastley.co.uk/">Rick Astley</a>, the British pop singer and songwriter, visited the ESO offices at Vitacura in Santiago de Chile, on 7 April 2014.</p><p>Astley — who sold more than 40 million records worldwide during the eighties and nineties — not only gave two sold-out concerts in Santiago, but he also took the time to learn more about the ESO observatories in Chile and the science achievements of the Very Large Telescope, ESO’s flagship at Cerro Paranal.</p><p>At ESO’s Santiago office, he was received by the ESO representative Fernando Comerón, ESO Communications engineer Simon Lowery and astronomers Amy Tyndall and Olivier Hainaut.

The video, which was improvised on the spur of the moment during an informal visit, features the Very Large Telescope as well as some of ESO’s stunning images of the night sky. This is the third single to be released from their 2011 album <em>Tomorrow’s World</em>.</p></div></div><div class="visit"><div class="date">28. marts 2012</div><h2>Portraying the Life behind ESO’s Telescopes</h2><div class="archive-image popup"><a class="popup" href="https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/stars1201a.jpg" title="Max Alexander taking photos of the staff at ESO's Paranal Observatory"><div class="image-container"><img class="img-responsive" src="https://cdn.eso.org/images/newsfeature/stars1201a.jpg" class="img-responsive"></div></a><div class="enlarge"><a href="/public/images/stars1201a/">Download and more information</a></div></div><div class="visit-text"><p>The award-winning editorial and commercial photographer <a href="http://maxalexander.com/astronomy/">Max Alexander</a> is currently visiting ESO’s sites in Chile, portraying ESO’s staff as part of a collaboration for <a href="/public/outreach/50years.html">ESO’s 50th Anniversary</a>.

The opportunity for Martyn to visit Paranal came during a family vacation in San Pedro de Atacama, about 360 km from the ESO observatory.</p></div></div><div class="row statusbar"><div class="col-md-3"> Resultater: 1-32 ud af 32 </div><div class="col-md-6"><div class="text-center"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><a href="/public/denmark/outreach/starsateso/list/1/">1</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="col-md-3 prev-next"></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-12"></div></div><div class="copyright"><a href="/public/outreach/copyright/">Usage of ESO Images, Videos, Web texts and Music</a><br /></div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="row footernote"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="mailto:information@eso.org">Send us your comments!</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/public/outreach/newsletters/esonews/">Tegn abonnement for at få nyheder fra ESO på dit eget sprog</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="https://www.cdn77.com">Accelereret med CDN77</a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3"> <a href="/public/about-eso/privacy/">Regler og vilkår</a> </div> </div> <link href="/public/archives/djp/css/extras.d3e54451ebbb.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript">var MEDIA_URL = "/public/archives/"</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/public/archives/djp/js/main.04a7335af5a0.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div>  <div id="social-share" class="hidden-print"> <div class="link facebook" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Facebook"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.eso.org/public/denmark/outreach/starsateso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook-f" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link twitter" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on X/Twitter"> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.eso.org/public/denmark/outreach/starsateso/&text=&via=ESO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i></i></a> </div> <div class="link pinterest" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share on Pinterest"> <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.eso.org/public/denmark/outreach/starsateso/&media=&description=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="fa-brands fa-pinterest-p" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link print" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Print"> <a href="javascript:window.print()" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <div class="link email" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Share by email"> <a href="mailto:%20?subject=ESO — Stars@ESO&body=https://www.eso.org/public/denmark/outreach/starsateso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="fa-regular fa-envelope" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> <script> $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); </script> <input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='TpmUtRaaCHETumOVcal8k2cjR0YhfWR46BQnYRglis7S5E0CMaui4438NGmhLsTs' /> </body> </html>
