Greenwich gets a working observatory

Post by Deane Clark »

And its new equipment looks rather familiar to MAS members, especially if you frequent ELO.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing! The historical story and photos of astronomer Annie Maunder, via the story's embedded link, was also really interesting.

So much interesting history that the majority of humans do not know about. ;(

Good to also learn that the light and air pollution in that country is improving.
