[Text ]
Scientists of the Siberian Institute of Earth Magnetism, the
Ionosphere and the Propagation of Radio Waves are observing the sun with
the aid of a new and highly sophisticated radio telescope in the Tunkin
Valley in the foothills of the Sayan Mountains.
This telescope's 256
spherical radio antennas form a single system -- a kind of mirror that is
622 meters in diameter. This intricate astrophysical complex is controlled
by computers.
(The photograph shows a portion of the telescope's antennas. )
