  California Institute of Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The driving force behind the transformation of Caltech from a school of arts and crafts to a world-class scientific center was the vision of astronomer George Ellery Hale.
Caltech remains, to this day, a relatively small university, with approximately 900 undergraduates, 1,200 graduate students, and 915 faculty members (including professors, permanent research faculty, and postdoctoral researchers.) It is a private institution, governed by its Board of Trustees.
Caltech is ranked the seventh best university in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, and is tied for this spot with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

 Caltech Press Release, 2/19/2004, Dr. Mike Brown, Michael Brown
The planetoid, currently known only as 2004 DW, could be even larger than Quaoar--the current record holder in the area known as the Kuiper Belt--and is some 4.4 billion miles from Earth.
According to the discoverers, Caltech associate professor of planetary astronomy Mike Brown and his colleagues Chad Trujillo (now at the Gemini North observatory in Hawaii), and David Rabinowitz of Yale University, the planetoid was found as part of the same search program that discovered Quaoar in late 2002.
The astronomers use the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory and the recently installed QUEST CCD camera built by a consortium including Yale and the University of Indiana, to systematically study different regions of the sky each night.

 Submillimeter Wave Astrophysics at Caltech   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This band, which lies between the far infrared and high-frequency radio bands, contains valuable astonomical data (in form of both continuum emissions and molecular radiations), but has been unavailable to astronomers until recently because most of the radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere.
In order to overcome this barrier, submillimeter observatories such as the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) are usually placed at high altitude.
The Caltech group is also working on instruments for a new space telescope, the Herschel Space Observatory, or HSO (formerly known as FIRST), and an airborne observatory aboard a Boeing 747SP, SOFIA.
