Winterovers Arrive

Monday, January 9. 2012

Today marks the arrival of the SPT's "night shift". Cynthia Chiang and Nicholas Huang completed the long trek to the South Pole, and will remain here throughout the long, cold polar night. No planes can fly in or out during the winter, so after the summer crew leaves next month, it will be up to our brave winterovers to operate and maintain the telescope until next November.

The entire crew is working hard to commission our new camera, so stay tuned for more updates!
