Some wildlife on the Chilean Atacama from a couple of weeks ago. The first, the Viscacha, looks remarkably like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel but is actually a rodent and lives amongst the rocks. The second is the South American Gray Fox, or the Patagonian Fox, which is found solely in Chile and Argentina #Chile #Atacama 🇨🇱

@fsinn Actually, they did fail in #Chile during the 2019 protests. They mobilized a lot more than 3.5% of the country population, and after several years, they (we) are all back in the same situation. Nothing has changed.

Where are we with the construction of our Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)?
This video takes you on a drone flight over the site in #Chile. We recommend full screen and volume up!

➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=t3GJbCasyO

To account for some delays, we've updated the ELT schedule, which now has the following main milestones 👇

🗓️ Telescope first light (first test observations) expected in March 2029
🗓️ Instruments installed and commissioned over the course of 2029 and 2030
🗓️ Scientific first light (first observations with scientific instruments) expected in December 2030

Rare #frog rediscovered after 130 years phys.org/news/2025-03-rare-fro

Lost for more than a century: the rediscovery of Alsodes vittatus (Anura, Alsodidae), one of the rarest and most elusive #amphibians from #Chile zookeys.pensoft.net/article/13

"This is an important milestone for South American #herpetology... Most of the other Alsodes species are either threatened with #extinction or we don't know enough about them to assess their status"
