The William Herschel Telescope takes pride of place on the front cover of
Astronomy magazine's
special summer 2012 issue. This issue is a picture-packed guided tour
of the world's major observatories, highlighting the beauty of the locations
as much as the scientific achievements. It includes an article about the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on
La Palma, written by ING staff Chris Benn, Javier Méndez and Marc Balcells.
