	Telescope (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Telescopes used for non-astronomical purposes are often referred to as theodolites, transits, spotting scopes, monoculars, binoculars, camera lenses, microscopes or spyglasses.
		Radio telescopes are often operated in pairs, or larger groups to synthesize large "virtual" apertures that are similar in size to the separation between the telescopes: see aperture synthesis.
		The telescope was aimed by the aid of a Foucault sidérostat, which is a movable plane mirror with a 2 m diameter, mounted in a large cast-iron frame.

		Telescopes used for non-astronomical purposes are often referred to as transits, spotting scopes, monoculars, binoculars, camera lenses, or spyglasses.
		There are many plans for even larger telescopes, one of them is the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope or OWL, which is intended to have a single aperture of 100 meters in diameter.
		The telescope was aimed by the aid of a Foucault sidérostat, which is a movable plane mirror of diameter 6.56 feet, mounted in a large cast-iron frame.

	Observatory - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An observatory is a location utilised for the purpose of observing terrestrial and/or celestial events.
		Historically, observatories were as simple as containing a sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) or Stonehenge (which has some alignments on astronomical phenomena).
		Modern astronomical observatories typically contain one or more permanently mounted telescopes contained in buildings with a rotating or removeable dome.

	Wikipedia: Observatory
		An observatory is a location with equipment permanently mounted for the purpose of observing the sky and celestial events.
		Historically, these have been as simple as containing a sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) to as complex as Stonehenge (for measuring the seasons through the position of the sun's rising and setting).
		Modern day observatories typically contain one or more permanently mounted telescopes contained in buildings with a rotating or removeable dome.

		As a telescope orbits the Earth outside the atmosphere it is neither subject to twinkling (distortion due to thermal turbulences of the air) nor to light pollution from artificial light sources on the Earth.
		SOHO is a solar observatory that is currently operational and used for the study of the Sun's corona and magnetic environments.
		The James Webb Space Telescope is intended to replace the Hubble Space Telescope and is planned for launch between 2009 and 2011.

	Telescopes
		The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the U.S. follow-on to the Einstein Observatory.
		The original low frequency telescope was superseded in 1976 by a 14-m diameter radome-enclosed antenna for use at high radio frequencies (mm wavelengths), built primarily to study the physics and chemistry of interstellar clouds, circumstellar envelopes, planetary atmospheres, and comets.

	Telescope - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		A telescope (from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing') is an astronomical tool which gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation.
		Galileo Galilei is credited with being the first to use a telescope for astronomical purposes in 1609, calling it at first a perspicillum, and then using the terms telescopium in Latin and telescopio in Italian (from which the English word derives).
		The current record is many times the width of the Earth, utilizing space-based VLBI telescopes such as the Japanese VSOP satellite.

	Battlecruiser bei eLexi - das Onlinelexikon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The German Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were labelled battlecruisers, but they traded lighter armament (11-inch main guns) rather than thinner armor for speed, and are equally well classified as small battleships.
		Improved engine technology also worked against the battlecruiser formula.
		The ultimate limit on ship speed was drag from the water displaced (which increases as a cube of speed) rather than weight, so heavier armor slowed World War II battleships by only a couple of knots over their more lightly armored brethren.

		Birr Castle is the home of the seventh Earl of Rosse.
		A main feature on the grounds of the castle is the great telescope of the third Earl of Rosse, an astronomical telescope with a 72-inch reflector which was, until 1917, the largest telescope in the world.
		Flowing past Birr, the Camcor River flows into the Little Brosna which, in turn, flows into the River Shannon.
