There’s no many places in the world, where you can be witness of so unique events in the time. But La Silla Observatory is surely one of them! Why? Well, look at the picture. I was just about trying to capture accidental green or blue flash during the sunset on 21st January 2015, when two famous scietists came just in the view and started tu discuss about (obviously) something really important. The one on the left side is no one else than Olivier Hainaut, Belgian astronomer and comet observer working for ESO. And the silhouette on the right? Well, not less famous guy. It’s great Chilean astronomer and amazingly talented astrophotographer Yuri Beletsky. While they were focusing on their problem, the Sun set down… Canon 6D Baader IR Mod, Tamron 70-300 mm @ 300 mm, f11, ISO 200, 5×1/2000 s.
