Around the World in 80 Telescopes



Here's a fun thing : a live, 24-hour webcast from 80 observatories around the world. Starts in Hawaii at 5am Eastern (2am Pacific, 09:00 UT) on April 3 (11pm HST on April 2).

There's a schedule at the bottom of the page. It jumps around a lot geographically, not going strictly east to west. There are also two Antarctic telescopes involved. Keewwwl.

I only heard about this yesterday, or I would've posted earlier to give my vast readership more notice.

Wish I'd thought of that title.
