Relive some of our most popular images and stories from the year From watching a star dance around a supermassive black hole to imaging multiple planets around a Sun-like star, 2020 has seen some amazing astronomical discoveries. In this blog post, we look back over some of the most popular images and stories from ESO in 2020.
The launch of virtual tours
During this year, public tours of the ESO observatories in Chile were halted due to the ongoing pandemic. In response, ESO got creative and launched new virtual tours of the observatories led by our specialised guides. These regular tours stream live on ESO’s Facebook and YouTube in both English and Spanish, allowing anyone to explore iconic locations at ESO’s observatories and ask questions to our guides. You can find the schedule of upcoming tours on our Facebook and Twitter using the #TourESO hashtag.
