Mobile field lab. A mobile open-air astronomy observatory was opened by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990. The field lab has a 7-ft. China's Purple Mountain Observatory constructed a new multifunctional globe. It not only shows the movement of celestial bodies, but also forecasts their exact positions and answers questions about astronomy.
Astronomers there regard it as the best celestial globe ever produced in China.
The globe is used for teaching, aviation, navigation and astronomy. Galaxy Noise At South Pole. Scientists at work in Antarctica near Earth's South Pole are able to hear galaxy noise. Australian specialists in upper-atmosphere physics hear it at Casey Station in the Australian Antarctic Territory on the Greater Antarctica mainland at Budd Coast, Wilkes Land, on the Vincennes Bay of the Southern Ocean. A physicist from the Peoples Republic of China worked with the Australian engineers.
