Since 2003, Slooh has connected telescopes to the Internet for access by the broader public. Slooh’s automated observatories
develop celestial images in real-time for broadcast to the Internet.
Now the new news!
Slooh will celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing with a high-definition lunar broadcast on Sunday, July 20th starting at 5:30 PM PDT / 8:30 PM EDT / 00:30 UTC (7/21).
Slooh will broadcast this event live from a special feed located in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Slooh, “It’s now 45 years since the first moon landing. Two-thirds of today’s Americans weren’t even alive when
Neil Armstrong made his ‘One small step’ announcement. Yet the sheer magic and complexity of that accomplishment marks it as more significant than the building of the Panama Canal or the Great Wall of China.”
A special panel, along with Slooh viewers, are going to take part in this live program commemorating Apollo 11, as the fat waning crescent Moon are observed through telescopes located in Dubai. And you are invited.
The feed in Dubai is located in a time zone that allows the telescopes to image the Moon in the first half of the night for the United
States and Canada.
