World's Largest Telescope to Reveal Deep Space Secrets
Scientists describe the Mount Palomar 200 inch telescope to be built in California with a 500 ton mirror and a 55 foot tube. It will vastly extend the observable universe, potentially doubling the range of the Mt Wilson 100 inch telescope and revealing millions of galaxies and nebulae for photographic study. Alberta and Saskatchewan yield gains from soil discoveries, showing arid lands turning productive due to sulfur balance and legume cultivation.
