20 Years of exploring the Universe
A very special instrument at ESO's Very Large Telescope is celebrating its twentieth birthday.
FORS2 is known as "the Swiss Army Knife of instruments"...
...and is an astronomical jack of all trades.
FORS2 has some impressive discoveries under its belt, including determining the shape and colour of the first interstellar asteroid...
...and observing the first light from a gravitational wave source.
FORS2 isn't only for scientists. It can also capture beautiful images of the night sky...
...bringing awe-inspiring astronomy closer to everyone.
