🇨🇱INDUSTRY VS. THE STARS: WILL WE KILL THE UNIVERSE’S BEST VIEW?

Chile’s Paranal Observatory, home to some of the clearest night skies on Earth, is under threat from a massive industrial project planned dangerously close by.

The proposed complex could unleash light pollution, dust, and turbulence, devastating this hub of astronomical breakthroughs—including imaging exoplanets and studying black holes.

Scientists are pleading for relocation, warning that losing these pristine skies would be a blow to humanity’s understanding of the cosmos.
