The HARPS-N spectrograph is a high-precision instrument, similar to HARPS on the 3.6-m ESO telescope in Chile. It will be located in the Northern hemisphere on the William-Herschel Telescope to allow for synergy with the NASA Kepler mission. The main scientific rationale of HARPS-N is the charac...

A 17-story monster of a telescope is being assembled atop of the 15,000-foot La Negra dormant volcano. It will probe the origins of the universe with an antenna dish the size of a baseball infield. It looks like a space-age windmill, with two U-shaped steel arms to hold up a giant satell...

STARE will monitor four active galaxies through late summer and early autumn of 2011, with a primary goal of measuring the mass of the central black hole in each galaxy. Spectroscopic monitoring will be carried out at the SMARTS 1.5m telescope at CTIO (Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory) in Ch...

Crater Tycho is a very young impact crater, only 110 million years old; much younger than the Sydney sandstone we walk around on. It has very steep and tormented slopes (sic) as Virtual Moon describes it; tormented indeed! The sketch was made in 2006 when seeing showed more detail than I could possibl...
