Default telescope programme

On Radio 4 2100 this Thursday, about " the race to build the worlds largest
telescope, and how it involves 18 tons of glass cooling slowly under an
Arizona football stadium"

Just in case you didn't know it was on.

It seemed very strange typing telescope +arizona +football into Google

Now that is what I call a binocular! Not exactly hand held though ;-)
