world’s most advanced telescopes sound? How about travelling to the most arid desert in the world and climbing up to 5000 metres? Sleeping where James Bond did? Seeing the best night sky in the world? Visiting the control room from where some of the biggest scientific discoveries are made? Observing the planet Mercury as it passes in front of the Sun?</p> <p>All of that is now possible in a single trip. Following a competition that ESO ran in March 2016, 8 keen social media users have been selected to visit the ESO sites in Chile between 7 and 12 May 2016. You can follow their adventures by using the hashtag <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MeetESO&src=tyah">#MeetESO</a> or following <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/ESO">ESO on Twitter</a>.</p> <p>The winners are:</p> <ul><li>Lorna Aguilar, Chile, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/http://www.twitter.com/lornibaby">http://www.twitter.com/lornibaby</a>, http://www.facebook.com/lornibaby</li> <li>Loïc Bommersbach, France, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/Leauickque">https://twitter.com/Leauickque</a>, https://www.facebook.com/loic.bommersbach</li> <li>Anne Grudzien, Germany, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/cpamoa/">https://twitter.com/cpamoa/</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://www.facebook.com/blogcpamoa">https://www.facebook.com/blogcpamoa</a></li> <li>Jane MacArthur, UK, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/Jane_MacArthur">https://twitter.com/Jane_MacArthur</a>, https://www.facebook.com/jane.macarthur.10</li> <li>Ian O'Neill, USA, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/http://www.twitter.com/astroengine">http://www.twitter.com/astroengine</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://www.facebook.com/astroengine">https://www.facebook.com/astroengine</a></li> <li>Karina Rojas, Chile, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/Star_Tres">https://twitter.com/Star_Tres</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://www.facebook.com/startres3/">https://www.facebook.com/startres3/</a> replacing Sergio Sancevero, Brazil, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/http://twitter.com/spacetoday1">http://twitter.com/spacetoday1</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/http://facebook.com/spacetoday">http://facebook.com/spacetoday</a></li> <li>Remco Timmermans, The Netherlands, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/timmermansr">https://twitter.com/timmermansr</a>, https://www.facebook.com/rtimmermans</li> <li>Cristian Westphal, Brazil, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/C_e_Astronomia">https://twitter.com/C_e_Astronomia</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://www.facebook.com/cristianreis1995">https://www.facebook.com/cristianreis1995</a></li></ul> <a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210422104132/https://twitter.com/hashtag/MeetESO" data-widget-id="712553692747141120">#MeetESO Tweets</a> <h3>Initial competition page</h3> <p> If you are a keen social media user with a passion for astronomy, we invite you to sign up to ESO’s first social media gathering.
