WTK: Space Observatory in Trinidad with Space Telescopes!!

[RadeonHD]

Yeah folks I realise a good telescope is very expensive and maybe it might just be better if I can see through one for one night instead of having to buy it.

Anyone knows if it has a space observatory in trinidad that you can go in the night to look at the universe?

I am interested in the Nebula galaxy and stuff however a $6000 scope still can't cut it. You need a 20 inch scope and well I can't afford that.

check this out some mod has banned me from posting in ole talk so i have to modify my first post. I think the mod is reixman padner or some crap so small thing me eh vex.

The space lab in europe has found super earths in another solar system.
Planets in another solar system in this galaxy.
They hoping next gen 40 meter lens diameter telescope will be able to prove extraterrestrial life form.

astronomy club in trinidad and tobago

[Razkal]

^i doubt anywhere in trini has any facility like that man, actually i'm pretty sure we don't. The closest you might get is a telescope belonging to some other wealthy enthusiast

Good interest btw...star gazing is hella cool

There used to be an astronomical society in UWI, but I am not seeing it listed anywhere.

google astronomy in Trinidad and see nah Alpine?

[RadeonHD]

yeah I was watching some of them images by the hubble telescope and all I can say is damn.

maby u should see it for yourself

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula

check that nah how decent is that eh.
Also ESO in Europe has found the first ever planet outside our solar system.

They say they counting on that planet to have extraterrestrial life.
So they building a next gen 45 meter diameter lens telescope weighing 1000 tons they hope that scope will be able to pick up life form in another solar system.

The planet looks cool check this they found other planets known as super earths

They usually have annual star-gazing parties. Used to be monthly meetings, but I haven't been active in it for a number of years.
