King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians visit ESO’s Paranal Observatory
Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians have completed a visit to the Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, home to ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the future Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), among other world-class facilities. This is the King’s second visit to ESO sites in Chile, after his prior visit in 2011 as the heir apparent.
The delegation was hosted by ESO Director General Xavier Barcons, alongside the ESO Director of the La Silla Paranal Observatory Thomas Klein and the ESO Representative in Chile Itziar de Gregorio-Monsalvo. Their Majesties the King and Queen started their visit with a tour of the ELT construction site, guided by the ESO ELT Programme Manager Roberto Tamai. Later, they had the opportunity to visit SPECULOOS (Search for Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars), a Belgium-led facility sited at Paranal, and to see some of the facilities that make up the VLT and its interferometer (VLTI).
Belgium is one of the five founding members of ESO, contributing greatly to the achievements of the organisation. Several Belgian companies have played a role in the design and construction of Paranal’s astronomical facilities. For example, Belgium’s AGC has provided the coating plants for all ELT mirrors while AMOS S.A., which also contributed to the ELT, built four auxiliary telescopes that integrate the VLTI. Additionally, Belgian universities are part of the Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) consortium, one of the first instruments that will be used on the ELT.
