space.jpgHere on Biotech Mashup we generally report on life-science related stuff. But sometimes, something so cool comes along that we just have to spread the word. This time it’s the Bradford Robotic Telescope, located on Mount Teide in Tenerife, the Canary Islands. What is so cool about this site is that they have a telescope that you can submit jobs to. So if you are interested in a particular piece of the sky, you can aim the telescope and have it take a picture for you. They have a 14-inch diameter telescope and the turn-around time is days to weeks. There is also an image gallery if you just want to see what other great pictures people took and then posted. It’s free to use, and you need to register to aim the camera. And if you think the origins of life might just be from outer space, then you might really have some fun here searching for hospitable galaxies.
