Starship Asterisk*

I heard rumors that the USA government constructed and is now operation a large ground telescope facility near the South Pole of Antartica. Does anyone know if this rumor is true? Thanks.

Never sure about rumors and U-tube hype.

Bystander, thank you for the reference. I was unaware of this mission. This telescope is on the trail of Dark Energy and the first 100 million years of this universe.
