Full night on the Paranal Platform

Fog filter was used to bring out the constellations. Southern cross and Alpha/Beta Centauri are easily visible.

I had never seen these lasers before today. So cool. Adaptive lasers.

Flat earthers will tell you that all you need is a nikon p1000 to prove the earth is flat.

Lovely. What are those beams of light?

[@BorisHaeussler]

I've explained it below.
Lasers for "adaptive optics"

[@rjeejacobjacob]

Thank you, friend.

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

This explains very well th-cam.com/video/Ck9dn36ykk4/w-d-xo.html

[@bolbolbella]

What is those lights ??

[@BorisHaeussler]

You mean the orange lasers?
Lasers ;-)
They create artificial stars high up in the atmosphere that we can use to create sharper images (basically removing the atmospheric turbulence with a technique called 'adaptive optics', in case you want to google it)

[@bolbolbella]

​@@BorisHaeussleri see.. thank you !

[@andrewwright.]

​@@BorisHaeusslersame Lazer used to transfer data from the space station to earth?
also...why hasn't this been documented all over the net, lazer beaming out of earth? would have thought it would be everywhere

[@BorisHaeussler]

@@andrewwright. I have no idea what laser they use, but I very much doubt it.
No idea why it wasn't documented more. There were press releases when they were going into operations, but maybe they weren't picked up much. They are certainly no secret.

[@BorisHaeussler]

@BanterMaestro2-vh5vn as far as I know, that's all correct, yes.
