World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject.

Since its inauguration in 1999, #Paranal Observatory has led to significant #astronomy breakthroughs, such as the first image of an #exoplanet and confirming the accelerated expansion of the #Universe.

Now Paranal is threatened by an industrial megaproject, planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations due to light pollution.

Since I am new to #mastodon I'm going to do some threads about some #work I'm involved with. My areas or #research focus on #exoplanet #detection using the #microlensing technique, probing exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also #GameTheory based approaches to #SETI - the Search for #ExtraTerrestialIntelligence.

Today I'll start with a 🧵 exoplanet detection with microlensing... (1/n)
