New observatory domes will allow for global astronomy research collaboration and more public outreach
Two new observatory domes were lifted into place today at York University’s Allan I. Carswell Astronomical Observatory, replacing the original 1960s ones.
“It’s really exciting. These new domes will give us so much more functionality and ease of use, but even more importantly, we will have a larger opening that will allow observers to see more of the sky through the telescopes,” says Assistant Professor Elaina Hyde, director of York’s observatory in the Faculty of Science. “This will allow us to increase our research and public outreach”
