Binocular Telescope Funding!

We have successfully secured $2500 from ASUA for our Small Binocular Telescope project. Thank you to everyone who worked on the proposal. If you would like to help contribute to the project, please contact either Kevin (kevinkhu @ email . arizona . edu) or Blythe (bguvenen @ email . arizona . edu).

On a side note, the astronomy question of the week is:
An airplane makes a straight back and forth round trip always at the same airspeed. If it encounters a mild steady tailwind going, and the same mild steady headwind returning, will the round trip take more, less, or the same time versus no wind?"

(Hint: this question is not as simple as you think it is, Einstein.)
