Ah!!... Astronomical observatories... Places of domes of all colors!.. No?
Oh yes! Is not White composed by all colors?? Well, but there really are other dome colors too.. Green domes: Why not?
This recycling container for glass, for instance, is -- like our Sun -- green. And it has the shape to mingle with its astronomic-purposed companions. But this non-atypical fiberglass container further has two round entrances, to allow bottle-sized glass objects (or chunks of them) to be thrown in. However, is this not a strange asset to find in an observatory?
Astronomical observatories are filled with glass objects! I would estimate 5% of total glass to be on bottled drinks at the bar; maybe 10% on windows; but quite possibly more than 70% of the volume of glass to be in telescope mirrors!
Now, why would someone design bottle-sized glass intakes when most of the surrounding recyclable glass clearly will not fit through them?? Are they saying that when a telescope mirror breaks, it does so into small enough pieces?
What other strange things might one find on astronomical observatories?
