Video by @babaktafreshi, The World at Night project Are we alone? I love to learn this in my lifetime. This simple question has remained a mystery for more than three centuries now, since we learned about similarities of Mars and Earth in the late 18th century. Captured this scene last year in Chile, on one of my imaging assignments for European Southern Observatory (ESO), on ALMA radio telescopes, one of the world’s highest observatories, at 5000 meters on Andes.
