The #night at the Observatorio del Teide in the #Canarias Island looks like the whole #sky is in #fire
Most #astronomers don't know the impact of #ClimateChange on #astronomy. This is one example: #GlobalWarming increase probability of #wildfire, which can actually burn some #observatory
I hope all the colleagues (eg @asmasca) there are all fine and safe.

According the current webcams, it seems the fire has reached the observatory.
The observatory hosts about 20 professional telescopes and radio-telescopes.
