Giant Magellan Telescope

??? ?Una jornada llena de aprendizaje y diversión! ???? Esta semana, junto al LabMóvil (Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory -Giant Magellan Telescope) y para comenzar las celebraciones del Día de la Astronomía en Chile, visitamos el Colegio Roberto Cuadra Alquinta de Domeyko para compartir actividades científicas y tecnológicas con todos los estudiantes del establecimiento, ?incluyendo a los más peque?os del jardín infantil, gracias al material creado por la Fundación Peque?as Grandes Estrellas! Además, nos acompa?aron los estudiantes del Colegio de Cachiyuyo Hernán Aravena. ?Gracias a todos por ser parte de esta aventura! Sigamos inspirando a las futuras generaciones a explorar, descubrir y so?ar en grande. ????

The vernal equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator. Enjoy today's #FirstDayofSpring in the Northern Hemisphere and #FirstDayofFall in the Southern Hemisphere.

#ICYMI hear from Carnegie Science President John Mulchaey at SXSW in his talk on the landscape of ground-based and space telescope innovation: https://lnkd.in/g98-3ui2

Next-gen giant telescopes will be among the most powerful and capable scientific instruments humanity has ever built. What questions will these incredibly machines answer about extraterrestrial life? What types of planets can these telescopes be able to detect? How many potentially Earth-like planets could they probe for the presence of atmospheric oxygen? How long would such surveys take? What scientific questions could we answer after the surveys are complete? What are the optimal survey strategies? Kevin Hardegree-Ullman and our team completed the most comprehensive analysis of the high-contrast, high-disperson spectroscopic surveys of exo-Earth candidates with the Giant Magellan Telescope and European Southern Observatory's Extremely Large Telescope. This study was part our Alien Earths astrobiology project and one in a series of papers using our Bioverse framework. Kudos to our co-authors and team members: Sebastiaan Haffert, Martin Schlecker, Markus Kasper, Jens Kammerer, and Kevin Wagner!
