Described as an “interstellar chamber opera,” L.A.’s acclaimed experimental opera company the Industry will present 'Star Choir' at Mt. Wilson Observatory.
March 8, 2012The pair had recently been invited by the L.A.-based arts and culture nonprofit Clockshop to study and respond to the archives of Pasadena-native Octavia E. Butler’s works, which are stored at the Huntington Library.
“I remember looking out into this field [at Bard] and looking at a deer and thinking, ‘That’s the most beautiful thing in the world, and it is covered in ticks.’ Like, this is the universe,” Segade says. He drafted some poetry on the subject and shot it off to Gaines in California to set to music. Alexandro Segade, left, and Malik Gaines stand outside vaulted dome of the 100-inch telescope where they are going to present Star Choir at Mt. Wilson Observatory.

It's Time for a Gravitational Wave Observatory in the Southern HemisphereAll current and planned gravitational wave observatories are located in the northern hemisphere, in the US, India, Europe, and Japan. Even the next-generation observatories like Cosmic Explorer 40-km and the Einstein Telescope will be in the north. But a telescope in the southern hemisphere would provide a much larger baseline, allowing the detection of fainter gravitational waves. A new paper makes the case for building an observatory south of the equator.

It's time for a gravitational wave observatory in the Southern Hemisphere, say researchersWhat's true for optical astronomy is also true for gravitational wave astronomy: The more observatories you have, the better your view of the sky. This is why the list of active gravitational wave observatories is growing. But so far they are all in the Northern Hemisphere. As a recent article on the arXiv preprint server points out, that means we are missing out on a good number of gravitational events.
