Pictures of the Month 2022

The Lagoon Nebula, catalogued as Messier 8 in the filters L, R, G, B with an exposure time of 800 - 1500s per filter (total of 65m) obtained with the Stellarium Gornergrat RiFast 600mm. M 8 is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius and is counted among the emission nebulae. The red glow is a HII region. Distance: 4000 – 6000 light years.

In the research station at Jungfraujoch there is a machine for the production of liquid nitrogen. Not long ago, the machine was completely serviced, which implied several days of work. Pictures: Daniela Bissig/HFSJG
Radar image of the Aletsch glacier with the Jungfraujoch on the left and the Concordia Place on the right. The image was acquired by the airborne radar system F-SAR of the Microwaves and Radar Institute of the German Aerospace Center. Several visible and hidden crevasses are displayed in red and green. Surface structures are shown in blue. Picture: © DLR-HR

Members of the Research Council and the Administrative Offices of the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF visited the research station at Jungfraujoch. The weather was changeable – as can be seen from the two group pictures. Photos: HFSJG
The Gömböc is the first known convex, homogeneous object with just two static equilibrium points. In the meantime, more than 150 individual pieces have been produced, most of which are on permanent exhibit at renowned institutions. We are honored to have G1410 on permanent display in the library of the Jungfraujoch Research Station. The number 1410 points to October 14th of the year 1922, the day the Swiss Government commissioned the “Schweizerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft” to establish the Jungfraujoch Commission to realise a high-altitude research station in this alpine environment.

On July 20, 2022, the Swiss Television SRF broadcasted live from the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch for the program ‘Schweiz aktuell Unten und Oben’. The presenter Michael Weinmann and his team (picture above) interviewed the custodians Sonja Stöckli and Thomas Furter (picture below) as well as researchers. Pictures: HFSJG
In the ongoing carbon balance field campaign at Jungfraujoch, researchers from several European countries aim for a better characterization of carbonaceous species in the free troposphere, which may help to reduce uncertainties in climate models. Various mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs and total carbon analyzers have been installed in the Sphinx observatory to measure the atmospheric gas and particle phase composition.

In the frame of the Board Meeting of the International Foundation HFSJG in Interlaken, the board members and guests visited the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch and enjoyed the beautiful weather on the Sphinx-terrace. Picture: HFSJG
On the occasion of the Prix de Quervain award ceremony in Bern, Dr. Leander Diener of the University of Zurich, presented his newly published book ‘Das Jungfraujoch. Eine Geschichte der Hochalpinen Forschungsstation 1922-1952’. Pictures: HFSJG
