Stella-Luna Observatory ✨🌙4d ago

We got the observatory base panels fitted together this morning. There are adjustments to be made as we bolt the structure together Monday morning but we finally have a building — at least part of a building — in place! If all goes well the dome goes on early in the week and before rain comes. #observatory #construction #skyshed #pod

Had the opportunity to visit a most fascinating solar #observatory Thursday in #Switzerland near #Arosa, the Astrophysikalisches Observatorium #Tschuggen (AOT) which #MaxWaldmeier had built in 1939, which was abandoned in 1980 and which amateur astronomers are now bringing back to the state just at that time: Here are the original Kern #coronagraph and another one from #Zeiss (with a huge spectrograph) it's sitting on. See https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=dan.fischer.393&set=a.10230945670040155 for a picture album, with links to the background in the first comment.

Laut der spanischen Ministerin für Wissenschaft, Innovation und Hochschulen, Diana Morant, ist die spanische Regierung bereit, über das Zentrum für technologische Entwicklung und Innovation (CDTI) bis zu 400 Millionen Euro bereitzustellen, um das Dreißig-Meter-Teleskop (TMT) auf die Kanareninsel La Palma zu holen.
