Canadians Plan to Build World's Biggest Telescope

Posted by samzenpus on from the great-white-north dept.

Jerry Rivers writes "If all goes according to plan, Canada will be home to the world's largest telescope. The international project, which has the support of the U.S. Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, is still in the funding stages but when finished it will be roughly the size of a football field. Maybe with this they'll finally find the Restaurant at the End of the Universe."

    Well, yes, but for hockey rinks to be feasible, you have to lower the value of "inhabitable" to Canadian standards. :)
