Classic Telescope in SL
For nearly a half century the largest telescope in the world was owned by a British noble, Lord Rosse. His giant telescope is famous for discovering the spiral nature of galaxies. Now it has been recreated in SL by Troy McConaghy. I haven't been there yet, but it is bringing to life a nearly mythical astronomical instrument, giving a feeling of its immense size - it was called the Leviathan! Of course, a telescope can't work in SL, but I suppose that there are simulated eyepiece views. Will add more here after I visit Lord Rosse's telescope.
