Deep in rural Texas, hundreds of telescopes are helping astronomy enthusiasts capture the wonders of the universe without leaving their homes.

These facilities, known as telescope ranches, allow people to keep their expensive telescope and astrophotography equipment under some of the darkest skies available. Instead of battling city lights, owners can connect to their instruments remotely through the internet.

How does it work?

Many observatories use automated, roll-off roofs that open to expose the telescopes to the night sky. Once conditions are suitable, users can control their equipment remotely, capture long-exposure images, and photograph distant galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial objects from thousands of miles away.

Why Texas? Its remote rural locations offer darker skies than many heavily populated cities, making them valuable for deep-sky astrophotography. Artificial light from cities can brighten the night sky and make faint celestial objects more difficult to observe.

According to the University of North Texas, its Monroe Remote Observatory is located away from urban light pollution and contains five research-grade telescopes that students can operate remotely from the university campus.

It's a fascinating example of how astronomy, automation, and internet technology are bringing the universe closer to people around the world.

Roko Morabito, 1967. godine fotografisao je jednu od najčuvenijih slika pod nazivom "Poljubac života". I za nju je dobio Pulicerovu nagradu.
Na dan kad je slika fotografisana, električari Rendal Čempion i Džej Tompson izvršili su planirane radove na zameni žica visokog napona kada je Rendal slučajno dotaknuo jednu od njih. Struja napona 4000 V prošla je kroz njegovo telo i srce, i ne mogavši izdržati takvo opterećenje, ono se zaustavilo!
Kolika je to jačina govori i podatak da se za vreme izvršenja smrtne kazne u električnoj stolici koristi napon od 2000 volti. Rendalovo beživotno telo visilo je na sigurnosnim pojasevima, ali njegov kolega nije izgubio glavu i shvativši da mu je svaka sekunda važna, započeo je veštacko disanje.
Kad se kod Rendala pojavio slab puls, Džej je otkopčao kolegu i prebacio ga na rame, a zatim i spustio na zemlju. Kad su spasioci stigli, Rendal se ponovno osvestio. Nakon nekog vremena, potpuno se oporavio i ponovo se vratio na posao. Ispostavilo se da je Džej produžio kolegi život za 35 godina, a on je i dalje živ.
