Tongue River Elementary School’s Huge New Telescope
I know, sounds like a bad joke, doesn’t it? But there are several central points of that post that make a whole lot of sense:
1. There really is a place called Tongue River
2. It has an elementary school
3. It will be playing host to a massive telescope array
It’s going to be part of a telescope network with the unlikely name of the Las Cumbres Global Telescope Network, a global network of about forty telescopes that will be used to study asteroids near Earth. The Las Cumbres network isn’t operational yet, and won’t be at least until the Tongue River site is brought on line, but it will be accessible via internet for the students in Wyoming, and apparently will also be made accessible, eventually, to students worldwide.
When that happens, frankly, I look for them to make it fully open for anyone to see, as when you put it on the internet it’s probably only a matter of time before everybody else gets it anyway.
