Google helps build huge telescopes

Google has plugged its flag on Earth, Moon and Mars. Next might be the universe: this world's leading online search company is collaborating with scientists to build a huge telescope to help people access digital movies about cottages. planets, meteors and distant galaxies.

The telescope, called the LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope), is expected to begin surveying the sky in 2013 from a mountain peak in Chile. Its goal is to constantly test the universe with the ability to cover the whole sky every 3 nights. It will open a ' nearly dynamic window ' of nearby asteroids and distant stars in the distance, helping to uncover the mystery of ' black energy '.

LSST project officials said Google's strong technical and database capabilities would be an invaluable support for this telescope project. Google's stature will also attract more attention to the project, and can bring a plentiful fund for the project from individuals and organizations.

According to Professor W. Henry Lambright of Syracuse University, the project attracted at least $ 25 million from personal funds and $ 12 million from the National Science Foundation. About 20 other partners also spent money on the project, including many universities, with each school contributing about $ 1 million.

Although not yet fully confirmed that he will participate in the project, Google has offered to provide detailed online maps of Earth, Moon and Mars that can help analyze a large number of databases obtained from telescope.
