Science in Chile

A massive display of meteorites all found in the Atacama Desert.

One of the world's most advanced radio observatories sprawls across the Atacama Desert.

The Chilean mountain is freckled with (relatively) small European telescopes.

A 63-foot-tall swinging ball hypnotizes passersby, and proves to any remaining doubters that the Earth is spinning.

This observatory high on a hilltop in the center of Santiago got its start in 1852.

In the most arid desert on the planet, the world's leading telescope allows astronomers to see more than has ever been seen before.
