ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is the newest infrared instrument installed at the Very Large Telescope in Paranal, Chile. After about a year of commissioning where the instrument was installed and calibrated, ERIS has finally captured its first image: a stunning view of the inner ring of the galaxy NGC 1097 located 45 million light-years away from Earth.

The phenomenon was also visible from Switzerland - We will have to wait four years to witness the next partial eclipse.
