"Palomar welcomes new addition", 1970-10-23
Scope and Contents
"Rousing itself like a young behemoth for an assault on the universe is the new 60-inch Mayer telescope at Palomar Mountain. The scope, though smaller than the famed 200-inch telescope, will see almost as far. It will be used to map areas of the heavens which later will be explored in detail with the more powerful 200-inch telescope." [Envelope contains similar images. Images in envelope related to those in envelope 398. Adjacent story "'Wiener-scope' fills gap in probing stars' secrets, covers ceremonies at the new Oscar G. Mayer building affiliate with California Institute of Technology at Pasadena.]
