"A team of researchers led by Professor Yi Yang of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, used observations conducted with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to study the supernova cataloged as SN 2024ggi on April 11, 2024, the day after the explosion began. [...] When supernova SN 2024ggi was first detected on April 10, 2024, Professor Yi Yang knew that obtaining high-quality observations very quickly was essential to gathering new information on the explosion of massive stars. [...] He submitted a proposal to ESO within hours and managed to secure the start of observations with the Very Large Telescope (VLT), specifically the FORS 2 (FOcal Reducer and low dispersion Spectrograph) instrument, for the following day, April 11. [...] The only facility in the southern hemisphere capable of capturing the shape of a supernova through such a measurement is the FORS2 instrument installed on the VLT." "Wiedząc z jakim rzadkim zdarzeniem mają do czynienia, zespół Yianga uruchomił na teleskopie VLT Instrument Force 2. To jedyny taki sprzęt na półkuli południowej służący do spektro polarymetrii, czyli brzmi skomplikowanie, ale w praktyce chodzi o badanie jak światło ulega polaryzacji."
