New Japanese Observatory.—The
Japanese Education Ministry is planning to build the largest astronomical observatory in Asia. The observatory, to cost 327,600,000 yen (about £327,600), will have a 74-inch diameter telescope which is to be made in England. The largest telescope in Asia at present is a 26-inch instrument owned by the Mitaka Observatory in Tokyo. Work is scheduled to begin on the new observatory in April, 1954, and will be completed within five years.—Reuter.
