mercury in telescopes?
#1
I was talking to someone who swore that the telescopes on Mauna Kea use mercury so I did a little research and didn't see anything about liquid mirror telescopes on this island. Can anyone verify this? And if there is mercury in the telescopes, how much is there and what safety procedures are in place? has there ever been a spill? This sounds like something that needs debunking but I'm trying to get my facts straight first. Thanks, Tom. [Smile]
Certainty will be the death of us.
