Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT)


Anglo-Australian Telescope
Anglo-Australian Telescope
A 3.9-meter (153-inch) reflecting telescope located at the Anglo-Australian Observatory. It came into operation in 1974 and, among many others tasks, was used in the Anglo-Australian Planet Search and WiggleZ. The latter ran from 2006 to 2011, and used both the AAT and NASA's GALEX space telescope to survey the distribution of about 200,000 galaxies out to distances of 8 billion light-years.
