LUCIFER 1. (Lucifer) is not a joke. Lucifer means "light bearer" and the task of the new instrument is to seek "planets hidden in the interstellar dust" .
Mount Graham, Arizona, United States. This is the place where for years they contrast with the demands of scientific research and cultural demands of a people, the Apaches, who fighting for its cultural and religious survival. Since 1993 he started at the top of the mountain, with the authorization of the federal government, work for the construction of a international center for Astrophysics which comprises three telescopes. One of these, Large Binocular Telescope , completed and inaugurated recently, is the largest ever built. But to make headlines is another telescope, LUCIFER 1 is already operational since April 21, 2010 is owned by the world's largest religious organization, the Vatican. This is the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) in collaboration with the University of Arizona and funded by the Vatican Observatory Foundation through donations of the faithful in the U.S..
The final building with two giant mirrors of 8.4 meters in diameter. Each instrument is cooled to -213 degrees Celsius to observe in the range of wavelengths of near infrared.
In recent years, many infrared instruments have been put online.
the NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is one of them. These instruments Infrared can be used not only to observe distant galaxies, but also for control objects approaching the Earth.
The Vatican, which recently extended his research to ' astrobiology , is interested in classical astronomy since the end of 1700 and has a number of well-known observers . In addition to those there were also official secrets, as stated in an article by Cristoforo Barbato and published on the website www.secretum-omega.com and you can download below in PDF file format
( http://www.secretum-omega.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/int_gesuita_ITA.pdf ).
from the statements made to some researchers, the Vatican Observatory Foundation was going to build this telescope for the same reason for which it was designed the IRAS Sky Hole and space telescopes and Silo, or to hunt down a planet called that Nibiru orbits a tiny brown dwarf star (the companion of our Sun?) called Dark Star.
This is one of many statements by the famous Jesuit, issued to a journalist and researcher Christopher Barbato:
"What I can say is that the telescope was built in 1990 with the aim of study the celestial bodies 'abnormal' approaching to land , similar to what has been done by the CIA, for example, that among many of his 'secret eyes' includes the Hubble telescope's twin, SkyHole 12 . Also the SIV was informed during the meeting with Pius XII on the approach of a celestial body to host a solar system evolved and very warlike alien race. I learned early on that the material that I receive here in Rome and to develop the computer was very interesting and very secret. It was during the production of certain data and information this telescope from a probe sent into outer space, fit in a space exploration program initiated in the early 90s called SILO, had photographed a planet of enormous dimensions approaching the solar system. The data were received in Alaska in October of 1995. "
The draft is then Lucifer a run by the Vatican, the University of Arizona and a mixed group of Germans and Italian.
The innovative design of Lucifer would allow astronomers to examine in unprecedented detail, such as regions of star formation, which are usually hidden by clouds of dust.
But this new tool, which is the largest optical telescope is the world, the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham, allows astronomers to observe any objects are very faint (it happens ...).
The instrument is extremely flexible, and combines with a large field of view high resolution.
