This New
Millennium Observatory (NeMO, for short) will also employ an autonomous submarine at a permanent mooring on the
site so that a scientist, after hearing the rumbles of an upcoming eruption, can tell it to «please do survey number 5.»
Our own field of interest, Astronomy, has been a key part of the human experience for
millennia, stretching back to Neolithic
sites such as Newgrange in Ireland and Stonehenge in England; Chankillo in Peru and our own Royal
Observatory, part of the world heritage
site at Greenwich.
