Last month the Discovery Channel Telescope saw first light. On this page on the Discovery News website you can see the fifth largest telescope in the United States as it begins its work. The page has nine items as of this writing, that show different aspects of this new scope. Several behind the scenes videos and 'tours' capture the immense project. In partnership with the Lowell Observatory, the state-of-the-art telescope promises "to ignite curiosity and stir the imagination". The 4.3 meter scope will be tested for the next 18 months with research scheduled to begin in 2013 or 2014. Another reason to stay in touch with Discovery.com
