Our pen pal John Miller sent us this awesome photograph of the telescope used at the South Pole with the Aurora Australis in the background.
It must be a stunning sight to behold in person. Scientists can make astronomical studies at the South Pole that they cannot make anywhere else on Earth because of the nature of the sky, the atmosphere, and the location.
Scientists at the Pole are studying a number of topics including climate change and even the Big Bang theory and the origins of the Universe. Antarctica is a fascinating place indeed.
