HARPS3 (the instrument behind Terra Hunting Experiment) was having a final design review today at NOVA-ASTRON when this morning's exciting news arrived. We got some bubbly at dinner to celebrate #NobelPrize2019 - cheers!

We had an awesome visit to ultrafast.hw.ac.uk yesterday. Thanks to the great team (group lead Derryck Reid) there for showing us their amazing research, including the prototype HARPS3 laser frequency-comb🤩 ... the most high-tech rainbow you'll ever see! 🌈

some of the tiniest optics in HARPS3. Never let it be said optics can't be cute :) (no optics were harmed/defaced in the making of this image! :D)

The newly refurbished/roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope Isaac Newton Group detects its first Saturn-mass planet ;-) ... HARPS3 has an awesome telescope to install on! #INT-Preliminary-Acceptance-passed #ProjectSoft.cz #robotic-telescope-ops
