Description: | In 1967 this telescope was installed in an observatory at Monte Porzio, near Rome in Italy. It was used for research into deep space and is the 1960s equivalent of the Hubble Space Telescope. It captured images of the stars, which astronomers examined to discover more about the universe. The telescope was made in Newcastle upon Tyne by Sir Howard Grubb, Parsons and Company Limited. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.science&industry.488617 | Go to resource |
