====== SONG in New Mexico ======
{{ :wiki:l2_m1_small.gif?direct|}}
The Stellar Observations Network Group, SONG, is a growing global network of 1-meter telescopes that will carry out continuous, high-precision radial-velocity measurements of bright stars for asteroseismology. The network currently has two sites that are operating ([[https://phys.au.dk/song/song-nodes/the-tenerife-node|Tenerife, Spain]] and [[https://www.unisq.edu.au/study/why-unisq/unisq-stories/testimonials/song|Queensland, Australia]]) and one that  will soon be operating ([[http://lenghu.china-vo.org/|Lenghu, China]]). SONG is led by astronomers at Aarhus University in Denmark. See the [[https://song.phys.au.dk/|main SONG webpage]] for more information.

New Mexico State University's [[http://astro.nmsu.edu|Department of Astronomy]] will deploy the fourth SONG node at [[https://www.apo.nmsu.edu/|Apache Point Observatory]]. The observatory will be ready for science in late 2025.
