ESO’s 4MOST instrument – Credit, AIPA / Saviauk The world’s largest spectroscopic telescope has just recorded the first observations from its new perch high in the mountains of Chile. Capable of revealing new information about any cosmic object or phenomena an astronomer cares to study, the telescope will feature in 25 important science programs over the next 5 years that involve 700 different scientists from all around the world. Called the 4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), it’s the newest instrument at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Paranal, Chile. Experts from University College London played a key role in its installation and operation. One of the most important methods of examining space is spectroscopy, or the study of light spectra. It’s an observational science which can tell astronomers what distant objects are actually made of by examining the wavelengths…
