Perched on a peak high in the Chilean Andes, 2200 meters above sea level, the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory has an enviable view of the night sky. In 2011, the Dark Energy Survey collaboration will install the largest digital camera ever built inside the Cerro Tololo dome to gaze deep into the universe. And sitting nearby, gazing at something a little closer to earth, will be the SLAC-built Radiometric All Sky Infrared Camera, or RASICAM.

We would all like to know what cock-up they are making over dark energy.  Oh, Haley is leaving Cardiff due to lack of funding.   :bawl:

shame. I see that happening in quite a few places. I need to set myself up well with the SKA and keep myself in the funding (its a 1.5 billion euro project afterall)
