Description

During the mirror-making process at Corning, onlookers watched and cheered from a platform in the building as searing-hot molten glass was poured ladle by ladle into the mirror cast. The creation, or casting, and polishing of the great mirror was plagued by one problem after another. All these photographic sky surveys have been digitized, which extends their scientific utility for decades, and makes the data freely available to anyone in the world," Djorgovski says.

The sheer volume of data means we need machine-learning algorithms to find the objects and classify them. Greg Van Idsinga, an electronic technician at Palomar who has worked at the observatory for 43 years, says the pool room does not get as much use as it did in its early days. STScI staff members work with astronomers who use the space telescopes, and in calibrating and archiving their data for the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), one of the first and biggest archives for astronomical data.

This idea—surveying the sky with dedicated smaller telescopes and following up the interesting objects with a large telescope—is still very effective today," said George Djorgovski, professor of astronomy and data science at Caltech, in a story about the 70th anniversary of the 48-inch.

Another option at the same size is the Meade LightBridge Mini 130, which is similar in size and capability. We have robotic telescopes like ZTF, and we can handle much more data than before due to processing with computers and machine learning. This is a 130 mm (5") Newtonian telescope on a simple alt-az mount (often referred to as a Dobsonian, but not a true Dob).

Many people didn't believe it and thought these objects must be in our Milky Way galaxy," said Richard Ellis, a former Caltech professor and director of the Palomar Observatory from 2000–05, in an obituary for Schmidt. The atmosphere is pretty turbulent right now," Vanderbosch said as he peered at the screen from the chilly control room, a wool hat on his head. What we could do in one hour will take 15–20 minutes," says Jonas Zmuidzinas, the Merle Kingsley Professor of Physics at Caltech and director of Palomar Observatory from 2018–23.

He also studied the large-scale structure of the universe, declaring that it is essentially similar in all directions. But you can't complete the discovery process without ancillary telescopes to pursue the newfound objects, including the 60-inch, the 200-inch, and Keck.
