# Mercator Telescope

The Mercator Telescope is a 1.2 m telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on La Palma. It is operated by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Leuven University), Belgium, in collaboration with the Observatory of the University of Geneva and named after Gerard Mercator, famous cartographer.
The telescope was completed in the year 2000 for an exoplanet research program.

## Features

The telescope contains two different measuring devices. First of all, there is the MeropeII CCD camera. This camera has a size of 2k by 6k pixels Frame Transfer detector originally designed for ESA's canceled Eddington space mission. The filters used together with this camera are according to the so-called geneva photometric system. The second instrument on the Mercator Telescope is the HERMES echelle spectrograph. It covers a wavelength range between 380 and 875 nm with a spectral resolution of R~85000.
The P7 photometer was active from May 2001 until July 2008. The photometer measured in the 7 band Geneva photometric system. It measured the star in one channel and the sky in another so that the sky can be subtracted. The filter wheel is turning at a rate of 4 Hz, changing between the filters of the photometric system.
The Swiss Euler 1.2m Telescope and the Mercator Telescope were part of the Southern Sky extrasolar Planet search Programme which has discovered numerous extrasolar planets.
The Hermes spectrograph was used to monitor the Star Delta Cephei in the 2010s. The data seemed to suggest a previously unknown stellar companion. The Hermes spectrograph for Mercator was in development from at least 2004, and is a "high-resolution fiber-fed echelle spectrograph" type of design.
In 2012, the MAIA instrument for astroseismology was installed. MAIA, also called the Mercator Advanced Imager for Astroseismology uses CCD to image in three passbands. Some of the technology was developed for a space telescope called the Eddington mission, which was however cancelled and thus not sent into space at that time.

After a two-year-long break from the music industry, Vega recorded the album in Miami, with Latin Grammy Award winning producer, Sebastian Krys. The album peaked at No.12 on the Spanish album charts, selling 25,000 copies.
Vega describes it as being "very different album with songs that aren't as melancholic as those of my previous works." She goes onto to state the "theme of the album is quite broad. There are songs that reflect on the current situation we are experiencing, the way to face it and having hope and faith that things can be changed. There are also others about the spirit of self-improvement and friendship. Without leaving love behind, because basically, for me all songs talk about love or lack of love for something or someone."

# Mick Pearce

Mick Pearce (born 2 June 1938) is a Zimbabwean architect.

## Biography

Pearce was born on June 2 1938, in Harare. He received his diploma with distinction at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London in 1962. He has undertaken projects in the UK, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Australia and China as well as South Africa.
In the last 20 years Pearce has focused on sustainable architecture and has explored the principles of biomimicry, which is the imitation of natural processes and the use of natural materials. One of the goals of his architecture style is to minimise damage to the environment. He prefers to use local materials and traditional technologies such as windmills.

## Notable projects

One of his most well-known buildings is the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Harare. For the system of temperature control in the building, Pearce was inspired by the construction of termite mounds. By using this system he combined energy saving and used natural ventilation and air conditioning. The building uses about 10% of the energy used for ventilation by buildings of a comparable size.
Pearce left Zimbabwe in 2000 as a result of the conflict in his home country and worked in Australia, where he co-designed Council House 2 (CH$_2$) in Melbourne, among other buildings. After three years working with Vanke in China, he returned to Zimbabwe in 2012.
In 2003, Pearce was honored for his innovations in the field of ecological and sustainable design with a Prince Claus Award from the Netherlands.
