A team of 12 Portuguese researchers is set to install a solar telescope in the Chilean desert that will operate remotely, allowing for high-resolution observations from Portugal. The POET (Paranal solar EXPRESSO Telescope), built partly in Lisbon, will be located at the Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert. Scientists aim to use the instrument to study the Sun and Earth-like exoplanets with unprecedented precision, with data collection expected to begin on April 8th.
