Since you all loved learning about the history behind True Power🐎 in ERC, here’s another fun fact! . Did you know that on top of the North Oshawa Library sits a small white dome. Now this dome isn’t just any old dome, it is actually an observatory that houses a reflector telescope for the Faculty of Science’s Astrophysics specialization. 🔭 . The telescope has a diameter of about 11 inches, which is a modest size compared to the 12 metres some modern research telescopes can get to. It is completely robotic, which allows it to be accessed remotely in lecture halls. 📚 . We found this information fitting as today is #NationalMoonDay !🌕 . 📸: Dr. Rupinder Brar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #myUOIT #ScienceOnCampus #UOIT #Telescope #Astronomy #Astrophysics #RupinderBrar #Oshawa #CDNpse #DurhamRegion #CampusLibrary
