The Roof of the World
A great new telescope has just come into operation at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, almost 14,000 feet above sea level. It is the James Clerk Maxwell
Telescope, a sort of radio telescope designed to study regions of the universe where stars are being born. Patrick Moore visits the telescope and talks to the astronomers who planned and built it. Film editor PAUL WOODING Producer PIETER MORPURGO
