Allow me to introduce SLOOH, the product of 3 years of work from a team of entrepreneurs dedicated to capturing the world?s imagination for astronomy by giving the general public a convenient, affordable opportunity to remote control high powered, high altitude telescopes. SLOOH is going to take you to the known wonders of the universe, orient you in the rhythms of the heavenly bodies, and dazzle you with the truths and mythologies of space. You will never see the universe in the same light again.
SLOOH is a LIVE experience?you are not looking at static pictures taken last year, or last week, but right now, as you look through the telescope. I believe this will bring you into tune with the ebb and flow of the universe, and increase your appreciation of mankind?s attempt throughout history to understand it. You?ll only be able to see objects like Saturn when they are actually in the night sky, about half the year. When you see Saturn this year, 2003, you?ll notice that its rings are more tilted than at any other time during its leisurely 29½ year orbit around the sun. And when you have seen Saturn?s rings change from year to year you?ll empathize with Galileo?s struggle to explain what those weird appendages were?he never did!
SLOOH is for people of all ages, space enthusiasts and novices alike. It is for anyone curious about outer space; it is for anyone who needs to see it for him or herself. SLOOH is a brand new experience, and as such it will go through much iteration as we seek to improve the product. Please don?t hesitate to tell us what you think, and we will incorporate your comments into future versions, as we expand our network of telescopes to high altitude sites all over the world.
I thank you for your support and look forward to showcasing for you in the years to come the best and brightest of outer space.
