ESO Supernova Public Newsletter

Dear visitors and supporters,

What a busy month February has been in the ESO Supernova! Since we reopened on 31 January, more than 5200 people have visited us.

We are excited to announce another new addition to our planetarium program in March. Dark Side of Light will be in our program from Sunday, 24 March 2024 and will take visitors on an educational journey on the topic of light pollution. Find out what effects the bright light of our cities and industry has on animals, plants and us humans. The consequences are significantly greater than a poorer view of the starry sky due to the illuminated night. What can we do to meet the challenges? Tickets can now be booked online.

We are planning more exciting activities for our visitors in the coming months and look forward to announcing these in the near future.

Best wishes,
Tania Johnston
Head of ESO Supernova
