| The telescope, named Leviathan, was built in 1840 by the 3rd Earl of Rosse. |
|
While the telescope mirror has found a new home in the Science Museum in
London, the stone walls, the tube and the structure to hold it are still here.
The mechanism to operate the giant telescope is still fully operational. Therefore, demonstrations are held daily. |
