The latest Edition of ESO's Science and Technology Journal, The Messenger, is now available online. In this issue 194 you will find out about several updates on telescopes and instrumentation in La Silla and Paranal observatories, like the Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) and its combination with NIRPS to create a unique dual optical-infrared precision velocimeter or the upcoming PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope. The Astronomical Science section features articles on how VLT/MUSE has enabled studies of the inner globular cluster systems of massive galaxies, as well as about the discovery of young stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies and what they tell us about their recent infall into the Milky Way.  

Further, in the Astronomical News section you can read an update on the Distributed Peer Review for proposals evaluation at ESO, learn how to take part in the ESO’s Scientific Visitor Programme in Garching and the usage of AI by ESO telescope users. This issue concludes with several workshops reports as well as presentations of some of our science fellows.
