NJIT To Dedicate New Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory on Oct. 3, 2009

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400

During the next decade, solar physicists will learn more than they might have dreamed possible about the Sun, thanks to current technologies that have advanced the capacity of ground-based and space-based instruments. All the more reason for the excitement on Oct. 3, 2009 when NJIT formally dedicates the new solar telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), CA.

World's Largest Telescope at NJIT’s Big Bear Captures Sun’s Magnetic Field Better

Wed, 20 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400

NJIT’s new 1.6-meter clear aperture solar telescope—the largest of its kind in the world—is now operational. The unveiling of this remarkable instrument—said to be the pathfinder for all future, large ground-based telescopes—could not have come at a more auspicious moment for science. This year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s telescope that he used to demonstrate that sunspots are indeed on the Sun.
