you. john and i have known each other for a long time. >> john's got a big presence. >> grabbed my attention when i saw him. your timing's perfect. we're just about to run a test. this has got to work like all the other majors. we have enough sensitivity with our telescope and our instruments to detect a child's night light located on the moon. i know that if you were to certainly take your radiant heat which for a human is about 80 to 100 watts and stick it on the moon, we would easily be able to detect that. >> when people think about the telescope, they think of the huge mirror, right. that's the iconic part of the telescope. this is what the astronomers care about. this is where the data comes from. >> our telescope is so sensitive that it could pick up the heat of a bumblebee if the bumblebee were as far away as the moon.
