[02] New 'Aristarchos' telescope on Mt. Helmos
The new "Aristarchos" telescope, the largest in Greece and amongst the
newest such observatories in Europe, was inaugurated atop Mount Helmos,
in the mountainous Kalavryta township of northwest Peloponnese, on
Tuesday.
"From the first moment when we undertook responsibility for the
country's governance, the Greek state embraced the efforts of the
astronomers for the creation of the Helmos Observatory," Development
Minister Dimitris Sioufas said on Tuesday during a brief address.
According to the minister, the European Union allocated five million
euros for the project, which was matched by four million euros from
national coffers.
