Close-up view of the ESO Supernova
This image demonstrates the modern design of the exterior of the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre. The novel design of this new building resembles that of a double-star system with one star transferring mass to its companion. This set-up will ultimately lead to the heavier component exploding as a supernova, briefly becoming as bright as the light of all the stars in the Milky Way combined. We expect the centre — aptly named the ESO Supernova — to similarly shine like a supernova, generating an enthusiasm and passion for astronomy with young and old.
