    So, being in Arizona and a bit of a climate geek, the Jason-3 satellite has me peeing a little with excitement to see how ocean mapping trends have an effect on el nino weather patterns. Anyone else?

    Did you see the ground based Extremely large telescope?

    Is it a new ELT? I've seen some of them but haven't looked lately.

    Yeah the E-ELT, almost 40meter primary mirror!!
