The Weizmann Institute of Science is building a new observatory in the Negev, near Kibbutz Neot Smadar. The new telescope will consist of 48 telescopes - each featuring a 28-cm mirror - with an extremely wide field of view. The new array will be equivalent to a 1.9 m-diameter telescope, and will possess the best sky scanning capabilities in the world - three times better than any other telescope on Earth!
