It weighs 600 pounds, was built at UW-Madison, has visited space aboard the Hubble Space Telescope and is now comfortably retired on the South Side after about 535 million miles of travel. Now, the public can see this instrument, called the High Speed Photometer, at Space Place, 2300 S. Park St. in the Villager Mall. It is exhibited among other Wisconsin-built instruments and telescopes that tell a story of the university?s role in space exploration going back to the 1950s.
