My favorite place in all of campus is on top of the Earth and Ocean sciences building, where the UBC astronomy club’s 12 inch (diameter) telescope is housed. And this isn’t any ordinary 12″ scope that you might find on telescope shops these days. How the astronomy club came to own such a unique instrument is a mystery to me. At least I am sure that it was way before my time.
