Here's a pic I took a few years ago at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile, with the UT4 telescope aiming its four mighty lasers in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy orbiting our own.
What do we use the lasers for?
(a) Play with space #cats 🐱
(b) Destroy rebel planets 💥
(c) Measure atmospheric turbulence 💨
