A brilliant presentation of the new NOT Telescope Rapid Response Mode (RRM), by Samuel. This will significantly improve our ability to stay at the forefront of astrophysical science of transient phenomenas.


📢 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 📢 The NOT Telescope invites applications to the Johannes Andersen Student Programme. 👩🎓👨🎓 We're looking for students who can start at any time from autumn 2024 onward: not.iac.es/general/studen… ⏳ Attention! The deadline is Friday, September 13, 2024.


The Spanish night photographer Javier Rosano has visited the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory and has shared this stunning image of our telescope on his social networks. Thank you! We love it! ♥️



We are proud to finally present some tangible progress!! The Visual Imager is being assembled at Aarhus Universitet IFA. The NTE is becoming a reality! #nottransientexplorer Carlsbergfondet NOT Telescope


🤩 Great news! The NTE Visual Imager, which is being assembled at Aarhus Universitet IFA, is already on the move. Our new instrument is becoming a reality. #nottransientexplorer NOT Transient Explorer Carlsbergfondet

💥A groundbreaking discovery led by Claudia Gutiérrez has unveiled a black hole consuming a star, producing an exceptionally fast and bright cosmic explosion known as CSS 161010. 🤗Observations with ALFOSC provided key photometry and spectroscopy. Congratulations to the authors!

🍿Plan for the weekend! Our observers Cameron Lemon and Nikki Arendse from Oskar Klein Centre in Sweden made a high quality documentary footage during their last visit to NOT. 🔭Thank you for this great outreach action! youtube.com/watch?v=TnPPgb…




🪨 The NOT is participating in the follow-up of asteroid 2024 YR4 to refine the probability of impact in 2032. 🔭 A team led by European Space Agency researcher Marco Michelli has improved the parameters of the asteroid's orbit: iac.es/en/outreach/ne… #ORMLaPalma #asteriod



🪨 The NOT tracked asteroid 2024 YR4 to check its risk to Earth! 🔭 Ex-NOT students Zuri Gray & Grigori Fedorets, now at University of Helsinki, helped cut impact odds from 3% to 0.001%—but now there's a 4% chance it hits the Moon! 🌕 More: helsinki.fi/en/news/space/… #ORMLaPalma #asteroid
