Andrew's Visit 1

Andrew Maxwell came to visit for six days. I've got a bunch more pictures, but here are some to get you started.

Calatrava's footbridge to Puerto Madero

Chili beer. It's spicy. Sounds weird, but it's delicious.

We went to Colonia.

Notice the helmets.

There's a pirate museum in Colonia, which we never would have found if we hadn't rented motorscooters to go exploring. That's Blackbeard (Barbanegra) behind me. He's got my back.

Twilight on my balcony

Santa Barbara

Sunday, I went with José to Santa Barbara, thirty minutes outside the city. There we had an 'asado' (the famous Argentine style of BBQ) and relaxed for the day at the [amazing] house of a family friend.

Sao Paulo

What fruit is this? What time is it? Where am I?



Janet uses tarot cards to conclude that I am tall.



THE BEST COFFEE

Party on my Roof (October)

Mas Observatorio

Can you guess which one is the astrophysicist?





6.5m mirror

mechanism for aiming the mirror


the "instrument" (a spectrograph developed by my cousin Gus); it collects light and separates it into different wavlengths



the man and his machine

the control room (there are a total of twenty monitors in the room, some of which are used for data analysis, but most of which are used to control the telescope itself; the large mirror has a honeycomb structure, beneath each section of which is an adjustable support system used to adjust the shape of the mirror to focus the light accurately)
