Out of this world

The next time you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re near Ellis Hall, look up, way up, to the big metal dome perched on the roof. That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Observatory, and inside is a high-powered telescope that on a really clear night might show you our next-door galaxy, Andromeda, a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Chances are, though, Andromeda will appear as a faint smudge. You카지노 게임 컬렉션�re better off looking a little closer to home 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, for instance, or the rings of Saturn. Or to the choice celestial object of PhD candidate Akanksha Bij: that big ball of cheese in the sky.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The Earth카지노 게임 컬렉션�s moon is one of my favourite things to look at through the telescope, especially on a half moon so it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not too bright,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says with a smile. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You can see so much detail 카지노 게임 컬렉션� all the craters, the darker plains, the lighter highlands. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s perfect.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ms. Bij and fellow PhD candidate Lawrence Faria are the two co-ordinators of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Observatory, a non-profit run by the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s/RMC 카지노게임사이트 Astronomy Research Group and the physics department. Together, they use the observatory and the telescope to host everything from school tours to public open houses about black holes, the origins of the universe, and beyond. The point isn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t to do research with the telescope 카지노 게임 컬렉션� it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not powerful enough for that 카지노 게임 컬렉션� but to get people excited about space by zooming in on the wonders of what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s out there.

That public outreach has been a cornerstone of the observatory since its very beginnings in the mid-1800s, says Mr. Faria. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�And that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a tradition that we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re really proud of. This is something for the public and connecting with the public and just showing people cool things in space.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The observatory카지노 게임 컬렉션�s public open houses happen on the second Saturday of every month except December.
