Description
NAAPO
, the
North
American
AstroPhysical
Observatory
, was
chartered
in
1983
as a
non-profit
organization
originally
formed
to
save
,
maintain
and
operate
the
Ohio
State
University
Radio
Observatory's
(OSURO)
110-meter
"
Big
Ear
"
radio
telescope
,
Ohio's
only
world
class
radio
telescope
. This was
done
by
creating
a
consortium
of
local
colleges
and a
group
of
volunteers
working
together
under
the
NAAPO
charter
. The
land
on
which
the "
Big
Ear
"
radio
telescope
stood
was
sold
in
1982
to
land
developers
by the
Ohio
Wesleyan
University
which
owned
the
land
but had
allowed
the
Ohio
State
University
to
construct
the "
Big
Ear
"
beginning
in
1956
and to
operate
it
for
nearly
40
years
. The
land
was
leased
from the
developers
from
1983
through
1997
,
which
allowed
NAAPO
to
continue
to
operate
"
Big
Ear
". In
1998
the "
Big
Ear
"
radio
telescope
was
destroyed
by these
developers
.
Some
equipment
and
most
of the
records
were
moved
to
smaller
facility
on the
West
Campus
of the
Ohio
State
University
, in
Columbus
,
Ohio
where
NAAPO
pursues
the
concept
of an
Argus-type
radio
telescope
originally
conceived
by
Dr
.
Robert
S
.
Dixon.
