Brief fun run through the telescopes situated outside Sutherland, including the new SALT (South African Large Telescope), the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

  • SALT would be my favorite toy, if they let me play with it some more:) I've been all over the telescope, including being chained to the lift that you get onto from the top gantry...it's scary up there!

    Besides various other collaborations, Headspace Studios made the visitor's center intro movie....

    best,
