Pakistan’s largest telescope brings outer space down to Earth
A poster at the institute depicts an astronaut in space.
The country’s largest telescope has been installed in an observatory in the capital’s Institute of Space Technology.
Dr Fazeel Mehmood Khan connects the telescope to a computer, to capture images of a galaxy.
The telescope rotates through machines, and is connected to a computer.
