Harvard Official Sees Cook Flat Viable for Observatory
Dr. Donald Menzel of Harvard says Cook Flat in the Davis Mountains could host a new type radio observatory to study the sun if government approvals and local facilities are provided. He notes land is offered, an access road and power line are needed, and road improvements may hinge on state highway support. Fort Davis residents and the local committee would handle inquiries.
