	Palomar Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The observatory currently consists of four main instruments: the 200 inch (5.08 m) Hale Telescope, the 48 inch (1.22 m) Samuel Oschin Telescope, the 18 inch (457 mm) Schmidt telescope, and a 60 inch (1.52 m) reflecting telescope.
		The Hale Telescope is operated by a consortium of Caltech, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Cornell University.
		This search switched to a new camera installed on the 48 inch (1.22 m) Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at Palomar in summer of 2003 and the results are used by several projects, including the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking project.

		The size of the planet is limited by observations using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which has already proved its mettle in studying the heat of dim, faint, faraway objects such as the Kuiper-belt bodies.

	PALOMAR OBSERVATORY FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS), sponsored by the National_Geographic institute, was completed in 1958 (The first plates were shot in November 1948 to and the last in April 1958).
		The survey covered the sky from a declination of +90 degrees (celestial north pole) to -27 degrees and all right_ascensions and had a sensitivity to +22 magnitudes (about 1 million times fainter than the limit of human vision).
		This search switched to a new camera installed on the 48 inch (1.22 m) Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at Palomar in summer of 2003 and the results are used by several projects, including the Near-Earth_Asteroid_Tracking project.

		Brown and Trujillo first photographed the new planet with the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope on October 31, 2003.
		The reflectance of the planet is not yet known--in other words, it's not yet possible to tell how much light from the sun is reflected away--but the amount of light the planet reflects puts a lower limit on its size.
		Determination of the upper limit of the size of the planet is constrained by results from the Spitzer Space Telescope, which has already proved its mettle in studying the heat of dim, faint, faraway objects such as the Kuiper-belt bodies.

		Brown and his fellow astronomers – Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory and David Rabinowitz of Yale University – used the the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego to photograph the object on October 21, 2003.
		Trujillo used the near-infrared spectrograph (NIRI) on Gemini Observatory's eight-meter Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, to record a spectrum of the surface of 2003 UB313 on January 25, 2005.
		Measurements by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope previously had identified the icy world Quaoar as the largest object found anywhere in the Solar System since the discovery of the planet Pluto 72 years ago.

	Scientists Discover Tenth Planet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A planet larger than Pluto has been discovered in the outlying regions of the solar system with the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif. The discovery was announced July 29 by planetary scientist Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.
		Determination of the upper limit of the size of the planet is constrained by results from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which has already proved its mettle in studying the heat of dim, faint, faraway objects such as the Kuiper-belt bodies.
		Because Spitzer is unable to detect the new planet, the overall diameter must be less than 3,000 kilometers (1864 miles), said Brown.

		With its sharp infrared eyes, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope peered through walls of galactic dust to uncover what may be the long-sought missing population of hungry fl holes known as quasars.
		All the objects were confirmed as quasars by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array radio telescope in
		Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer, which observed the quasars, was built by Ball Aerospace Corporation, Boulder, Colo.; the University of Arizona; and Boeing North America, Canoga Park, Calif. Spitzer's infrared array camera, which also observed the quasars, was built by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

		The planet was first spotted on October 31, 2003 with the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California.
		But it was so far away that its motion was not detected until the scientists reanalysed the data earlier this year, Brown said.
