Yerkes Telescope at Williams Bay Probes Saturn and Jupiter
A Chicago Inter Ocean reporter tours the Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay Wisconsin to reveal the giant refracting telescope. The instrument's forty inch objective and sixty two foot tube reveal Saturn's disks and rings, four moons, and Jupiter's disk with detailed features, alongside discussions of its fabrication by Clark and the Lick glass, and the observatory's wide array of instruments and ongoing research goals.
