The Rosse Newtonian telescope 

The Leviathan of Parsonstown as it became known, was the work of William Parsons, an amateur astronomer and the third  Earl of Rosse on the Birr Castle estate. At its time of construction in 1845, the leviathan became the largest telescope in the world for well over fifty years.

Reproduced here, as a low prim build for the virtual world, the Ross telescope will be a point of interest for any sim that has an astronomical or education theme. If you have any questions, please contact Skipper Abel in Second Life, otherwise enjoy.
