The spinning origins of a planetary system!

Taken with our Very Large Telescope in #Chile over a period of four years, these images show the rotating disc of gas and dust around the young star AB Aurigae.

#Introduction

One of the great lessons in life is that we built this.

All of it.

And we choose throughout our days how we will continue or change the world we have built.

We can build differently.

🎉 Good news! We and our consortium partners have secured funding for the next programme to promote #FreeSoftware in the EU: Restack. This follows the cut in funding for the ‘Next Generation Internet’ programme in 2024.

💡Restack’s mission is to reimagine and reshape the internet to create a value-driven, human and inclusive society for all.
