    News from the Roque

    A picture is worth a thousand words... So rather than wasting many lines we show two recent pictures of buildings that are being erected. The first one is of the 1.2-m Mercator telescope facility, located close to the Isaac Newton telescope and not to be mistaken with the future Liverpool telescope that will be constructed nearby. The second picture shows progress made on the GranTeCan 10-m telescope project. The lower part of the telescope building is well advanced. The gaps in the concrete construction are for future air ventilation apertures of the dome area. Recently the University of Florida and two Mexican institutes, UNAM and INAOE, signed up to the GranTeCan project.
