Will Learn Life History Of Whole Universe
NEW YORK, September 4. Work on the 200-inch telescope at Pasadena, California, commenced in 1936 and halted by the war, will be resumed in November. It is hoped to have the “big eye” seeking the depths of space in June, 1947, from the observatory on top of Mt. Palomar. The main task ahead is grinding the huge glass disc. Dr. Max Mason said: “With such a telescope we will learn the life history of the whole'universe.” Scientists say the telescope will not wrest secrets from close objects like the moon and the planets, but will enable observers to. detect remote celestial objects.
