Abstract OBSERVING WITH AST/RO AT THE SOUTH POLE Antony A. Stark SAO premieres a short film about observing with the AST/RO telescope
at the South Pole. Astronomers live at the National Science Foundation
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where they walk to work past
the South Pole to the telescopes in the Dark Sector. The exceptionally
clear and stable skies of the Antarctic Plateau allow an unprecedented
view of the cosmos. Follow Smithsonian astronomer Tony Stark through
a South Pole working day, detecting dense interstellar gas falling
into the Black Hole in the center of the Milky Way.
