Giant Telescope
A TELESCOPE weighing .1,000,0001 b. that is being built for the 'Californian Institute of Technology, is expected by astronomers to solve the ..problem of the alleged expanding universe. Dr. 'Hubble, astronomer at Wilson Observatory, said recently that he was cpnfident the new instrument would answer this question that had been perplexing astronomers for some time past. Experts at this great, observatory had been looking for the answer, ho said, in objects so far away that it takes 300,000,000 years for their light to reach The earth. The new telescope will penetrate distances three times as far, and unfold a volume of the mysteries of space 25 times as vast as that possible with the world’s present'greatest telescope with its fOOin. mirror.
