100 Meter OWL Telescope Project

Posted by michael on from the they-do-it-with-mirrors dept.

mindpixel writes: "The European South Observatory (my employer) is getting VERY serious about building the OWL (OverWhelmingly Large) 100 meter telescope. Check out this new site dedicated to the project. You can see some cool diagrams of what the OWL telescope will look like and some simulated images here." For more about telescopes of unusual size, you might read McKinstry's interview last year.

    Dear Patrick,

    Thank you for the wake-up call. I've changed my mind about ET.

    I appreciate the scientific insights provided by your website. Now I have a reason to fix my dad's old ham radio. Once it is repaired I will send messages to our brothers and sisters in outer space.

    your friend,

    Burton

    Dear friend. Why are you so full of hate towards our brothers and sisters from space? I hope reading this site will change your mind.

    Love, Patrick

    How true. Anyway, ET makes me sick. I'd like to strangle it with a phone cord, then pour gasoline over its body and burn it up.

    aliens *DO NOT* exist.

    Prove it. In fact, it's recently been *proven* that there is life on Mars.
