Crazy! This is the world's largest land telescope - photos

Telectroscope is the world's largest land telescope. It's a giant telescope that gives you the possibility to see all the way from London to New York. Basically this tool lets Londoners and New Yorkers see each other in real time. Well, the giant telescope doesn't really cross the ocean. Thanks, not to a tunnel, but to a transatlantic Internet connection with high definition cameras on both ends the telescope allow s citizens from both sides of the Atlantic to see what happens in each other's city.

The project was underwritten by a grant from the British government and private sponsorship. The project cost about £400,000/$800,000. The Telectroscope is open to the public and is on display 24 hours a day until June 15. Use is free in New York but costs £1 in London.
