    The Public Observatory Project (POP) is coming up at the National Air and Space Museum. Starting mid-August a large professional Boller & Chivens telescope in a 22-foot dome will be available four hours each day except Monday (weather permitting) to view the Sun, Moon and planets from the east terrace of the Museum. 

    The dome was lifted on to the base of the POP on the morning of July 8.
