 (0 comments) | Far AwayTake a picture of your octopus as far as possible from its registered addressHere is Orly in front of the Clay Telescope (one of the Magellan Telescopes) in Las Campanas, Chile. From http://www.ociw.edu/about/ : "Fifty-two hundred miles southeast of Pasadena, about a dozen scientists and administrative personnel work in the offices of the Las Campanas Observatory located in the coastal resort city of La Serena, Chile. The observatory itself is located approximately 100 kilometers north of La Serena, Chile, at an altitude of 2,400 meters, in a region of dark and clear skies and excellent seeing unsurpassed by any site on Earth. The principal telescopes at Las Campanas are the Swope 1-meter telescope, the du Pont 2.5-meter telescope, and the twin 6.5-meter Magellan telescopes." The distance between home and Las Campanas Observatory is 4725.17 miles. Orly is far, far from home!
