ESO — Reaching New Heights in Astronomy
ESO Supernova Public Newsletter
11 June 2021

Dear visitor and supporters,

We are delighted to finally reopen our improved planetarium! We very much look forward to showing you the Universe in our 360 dome. Of course, we are still operating under careful health and safety measures because of the pandemic, and you should read our COVID-19 measures before you visit us. Because our shows will only be offered as long as the 7-day-incidence is below 50, the shows will only be bookable around 1 week in advance.

If you haven’t already, we would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete our short survey. It should only take 10-15 minutes of your time and there is an optional prize draw to win a beautiful mug. This mug is also available for sale in our shop (both in the ESO Supernova and online).

Thank you all for your continued interest and support!

Tania Johnston
Head of ESO Supernova
