Description

The McDonald Observatory’s 82in Otto Struve Telescope turns 85 years old this month! Join them from the telescope’s control room as they celebrate by showing you what goes on behind the scenes, talk about the history of the telescope and the Observatory, and even go into some of the research (both past and present) done with this telescope. 

Moderators in the live chat will be taking questions, and the host will take more at the end. Can’t make the live stream? This event will be recorded and remain on the McDonald Observatory’s YouTube channel.
