By pure chance, Stefan observed the Sun last Friday with a custom-made telescope. The active region seen here close to the edge of the Sun's disc have now rotated more towards us. A so-called coronal mass ejection coming from this region has caused the ongoing geomagnetic storm.

Fantastic!

Runs in VR too ;) We're pretty excited about it, we'll release more info later

It's an app we're currently developing for virtually exploring the ELT. We're planning to release it for free to educators next year and also as a video game on gaming platforms, at a later stage

Great job on the poster!

Beautiful lands

What an embarrassment, NYT.

Somehow the whole system smaller than the orbit of Mercury 😂

As for your second point, in the very beginning of the video we are using adjectives people typically associate with BHs, regardless of whether they are valid for all BHs or not ("reputation"). Perhaps we should do a video about dispelling black hole myths at some point." 3/3

But you are right that we should have made it clear in that first segment that we were referring to stellar black holes in our galaxy. We’ll add a comment about this. 2/3

Thanks for your comments Markus and thanks for watching. There’s only so much we can fit in a video about how massive black holes get and, this being an ESO video, we gave preference to BH recently observed with ESO telescopes. 1/3

Great job! I know Igreja do Carmo in Porto when I see it ;)
