Prof. Linda French, Bob Stephens, and Chelsea Davitt used the 0.9-meter
telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory to observe Trojan
asteroids. This video has time lapse nightscapes of the southern skies
including the Southern Milkey Way, the Southern Cross, Alpha and Beta
Centauri, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

Linda French, Bob Stephens and Jennifer Seiben travelled to CTIO in Chile April 2014 to use the 0.9-meter telescope to observe Jovian Trojan Asteroids. Here are some of the processes involved in using that telescope on the mountain.

Observing at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory
Linda French, Bob Stephens and Daniel Laracca observed Jovian Trojan
Asteroids at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in September 2012 using the 0.9-meter (36 inch) telescope. This video shows traveling up to the observatory, some of the facilities at CTIO, and timelapse video of stars at night.
Observatorio Interamericano de Cerro Tololo
El Observatorio Interamericano de Cerro Tololo es uno de los grandes observatorios ubicados en Chile. Este complejo científico está compuesto de telescopios e instrumentos dedicados a la observación astronómica profesional y se encuentra a unos 80 km al este de la ciudad de La Serena, a 2200 metros de altura.
En este video, creado por el Instituto de Astrofísica de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, se explica el funcionamiento de este observatorio en la voz de sus científicos y astrónomos visitantes.
Agradecimientos a AURA y al personal de CTIO.

The stars have captured imaginations for as long as man has been looking at the night sky. Chile's northern region is home to some of the darkest, clearest night skies, making it an ideal place for stellar observation. We take you to Cerro Tololo Observatory, nestled in the Elqui Valley and beneath the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Here international researchers are uncovering the secrets of the universe including the biggest and most fundamental question, how did it all begin?

Observatorio de Cerro Tololo, Coquimbo, Chile
El Observatorio Interamericano de Cerro Tololo, CTIO por sus siglas en inglés, se ubica en el valle de Elqui, aproximadamente a 80 km de la ciudad de La Serena, en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile, a una altura de 2.200 msnm.
El observatorio consta de 7 cúpulas, de las cuales solo 5 se mantienen en funcionamiento. El proyecto se inició en el año 1962 y se concretizó el 7 de noviembre de 1967. Desde enero de 1976, opera su telescopio más grande, Víctor Blanco, de 4 metros de diámetro. Sus telescopios son nombrados por el diámetro que poseen.
Es operado por la Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, AURA, consorcio de universidades privadas estadounidenses en colaboración con la National Optical Astronomy Observatories, NOAO, bajo convenio con la National Science Fundation y la Universidad de Chile.
Con un clima moderado por las corrientes de aire frío, que vienen del suroeste en el océano Pacífico, y por la corriente de Humboldt, que viaja hacia el norte desde el océano Antártico a lo largo de la costa de Chile, con un cielo casi perfectamente libre de luces de ciudades, una atmósfera muy transparente, la cercanía del desierto y las frías capas de aire oceánico que se mueven sin turbulencia apreciable hacia la cordillera de los Andes, se combinan para crear uno de los mejores sitios del mundo para observaciones astronómicas.
Es posible realizar visitas al observatorio Tololo cada sábado del mes. Estas son guiadas y gratuítas con una duración total de tres horas, aproximadamente. Es necesario pedir una autorización con al menos un mes de anticipación y se debe contar con un vehículo propio para llegar. Las visitas se realizan durante el día, contemplando una charla y recorrido por las instalaciones. No es posible observar por el telescopio por tratarse de un telescopio científico y profesional.

2019 Total Solar Eclipse - Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory
2019 Total Solar Eclipse - Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, Vicuña, Chile.
On July 2, 2019 a total solar eclipse passed over Chile and Argentina, and through a stroke of astronomical luck, the path of totality crosses directly over the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory located in the foothills of the Andes, 7,241 feet (2200 meters) above sea level in the Coquimbo Region of northern Chile.
Five science teams chosen by NSF’s National Solar Observatory performed experiments at Cerro Tololo during the eclipse; four of them had their equipment trained on the Sun’s elusive corona and one studied eclipse effects on the Earth itself.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) is an astronomical observatory located on Cerro Tololo in the Coquimbo Region of northern Chile, with additional facilities located on Cerro Pachón about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the southeast. It is within the Coquimbo Region and approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of La Serena, where support facilities are located. The site was identified by a team of scientists from Chile and the United States in 1959, and it was selected in 1962. Construction began in 1963 and regular astronomical observations commenced in 1965. Construction of large buildings on Cerro Tololo ended with the completion of the Víctor Blanco Telescope in 1974, but smaller facilities have been built since then. Cerro Pachón is still under development, with two large telescopes inaugurated since 2000, and one in the early stages of construction.
The principal telescopes at CTIO are the 4 m Víctor M. Blanco Telescope, named after Puerto Rican astronomer Victor Manuel Blanco, and the 4.1 m Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope, which is situated on Cerro Pachón. Other telescopes on Cerro Tololo include the 1.5 m, 1.3 m, 1.0 m, and 0.9 m telescopes operated by the SMARTS consortium. CTIO also hosts other research projects, such as PROMPT, WHAM, and LCOGTN, providing a platform for access to the southern hemisphere for U.S. and worldwide scientific research.
