<div class="">(I have a meeting that starts at 4 that I must attend, but will join y’all as soon as I can).</div>

<div class="">In the mean time, here’s a picture of our newest available research facility. As you know, A&M-Commerce is a member of the SARA Telescope Consortium that has for several years operated telescopes at Kitt Peak in Arizona and Cerro Tololo in Chile.
We now are bringing online a 1-m telescope in the Canary Islands (La Palma). We rededicated this telescope this past weekend. Our telescope is the one to the far right in the picture, just on the edge of the caldera of an extinct volcano - it’s quite beautiful
out there.</div>

<div class="">As a bonus, there was another groundbreaking ceremony for a Cherenkov telescope, and one of the physicists in attendance (Takaaki Kajita) just happened to have been awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which
shows that neutrinos have mass.” </div>
