Total solar eclipses are rare phenomena, only occurring in a specific location once every 360 years on average. Historically, total solar eclipses have only been observed twice from large professional observatories, allowing specific science experiments to take place. On this occasion, ESO invited nearly 25 scientists, communicators and educators to observe and document the eclipse and benefit from La Silla’s clear skies and its infrastructure and resources. This article presents an overview of these various activities.
