Large Telescopes And Why We Need Them - Professor Carolin Crawford
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 6 Ιουν 2012
Beyond
the Solar System, all astronomers have to work with is the light that
falls to the Earth from distant cosmic objects. Newer, larger telescopes
are always needed to boost scientific progress, and the next generation
of facilities - whether the 42m diameter optical-infrared Extremely
Large Telescope, or the Square Kilometre Array of radio dishes - will
represent a huge advance. We shall look at the science driving the need
for such large telescopes, through history and to the present-day and
beyond. Many scientific and engineering challenges are involved in the
design and construction of the largest telescopes and their mirrors, and
technological developments will be essential to their success.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
made available for free download from our website.
