You have to walk past a scale model of the solar system called “Pluto Walk” to get here.

Cheryl,
Is this a radio telescope ?
Phoenix …. the home of Duane Eddy … saw him with the Rebel Rousers in 1963 at the Liverpool Empire … “Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel”.

Hi John - no it’s not a radio telescope. The dome opens and can be rotated to look at different areas of the sky, and the telescope pictured yesterday is what’s inside . It’s an old-school reflector telescope, but instead of an eyepiece to look through there’s a photographic plate attached to the back.
Pluto Walk?! Disney get everywhere.
I think I want to live in something like that. Very nice.
