Next: The Plan Up: No Title Previous: No Title . On the afternoon of 19 October 1999, it was discovered by John Briggs that the secondary mirror in the 2.5m SDSS telescope had developed a series of circular cracks around its axis of symmetry. As the telescope had not been in use since the early morning of 16 October 1999, there was a great deal of concern and consternation as to what caused these fractures in the glass. ... 11/24/1999 ...
