Pictures of the Month 2017

Back

Jungfraujoch: The progression of the sun around the shortest day of the year (29.12.2016, 08:25 – 15:44 h). Picture and copyright: Walter Roggensinger, 9472 Grabs.
The secretary HFSJG, Mrs. Claudine Frieden, at work at her office in Bern.
During the CLACE (CLoud and Aerosol Characterization Experiment) and INUIT (Ice Nuclei research unIT) campaign 2017, many inlets for specific sampling were installed on the terrace of the Sphinx-observatory at Jungfraujoch: 1. Ice selective inlet of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), 2. inlet of the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, 3. heated inlet of the PSI, 4. heated and concentrator unit inlet of the ETH Zürich.
This picture was taken by Alessandro Lechmann from the Institute of Geological Sciences, University of Bern, while taking rock samples on the way up to the Mönch.
Veerle Sterken and Martin Gasser (in the picture) of the Swiss Society of Speleology, division Bern, explored at Jungfraujoch the highest situated cave in Europe. The goal was to compare an existing map of the cave from 2004 to the current state to note down any changes (e.g. ice, crystals) and to try to advance further into the cave. Picture: Veerle Sterken
After almost twenty years, the Solar Neutron Telescope (SONTEL) at the Gornergrat was dismounted and the lab container removed by helicopter.
Dr. Elke Ludewig, head of the Sonnblick Observatory in Austria, and her colleague Gerhard Schauer during their visit at our research station at Jungfraujoch (from left to right: S. Decurtins, President HFSJG; M. Otz, custodian HFSJG; E. Ludewig; U. Otz, custodian HFSJG; R. Bütikofer, HFSJG; G. Schauer).
The research station Jungfraujoch is also of great interest to the media. The picture shows an Indian TV team interviewing our custodian Urs Otz.
The protection net against falling rocks above the research station at Jungfraujoch was extended in order to improve the safety measures and to minimize the risk of rockfall.
The staff of the ETH-Board during their visit at the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch. The picture shows Silvio Decurtins and Markus Leuenberger together with a part of the staff as well as Lukas Emmenegger of the Empa and Urs Baltensperger of the PSI on the Sphinx-terrace (Picture: M. Fischer, HFSJG).
The picture shows workers of the company Gasser Felstechnik AG during the extension of the protection net above the research station at Jungfraujoch.
The Ring Nebula (also named Messier 57), in the constellation of Lyra, is a torus shaped cloud of ionized gas that was expelled into the interstellar medium after a star "died". A red giant star was reaching the end of its life and as fusion stopped, the outer shell was ejected into space and it became a white dwarf. The image was obtained using the 60cm-RiFast-Telescope of the Stellarium Gornergrat. The final image is a composite of 50 frames of 1 minute exposure time each, which were obtained in four different filters (R, G, B, L). Picture: © Stellarium Gornergrat.
