He inspired generations to look at the universe with curiosity and wonder,” Weitsman said. “Partnering with Dr. Loeb gives us an opportunity to continue that spirit of exploration, bring groundbreaking research to Ithaca and create something that can inspire future generations.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1RBpFE_1H4FT8yF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1RBpFE_1H4FT8yF00" width="1200" height="768" ><figcaption>Adam Weitsman (top) and Dr. Ari Loeb (bottom) (Photos provided)</figcaption></figure>It’ll take about a year to re-develop the house into a research center, Weitsman said. Once completed, it will become the Galileo Project’s fourth observatory.“Carl Sagan believed in sharing the excitement of scientific discovery with the public. This observatory will honor that spirit by giving people an opportunity to engage with real scientific research, explore observations and experience the process of discovery firsthand. We hope to inspire the same curiosity about the universe that Sagan brought to so many people,” Loeb said.Development will begin later this month.</div></body>
