In another blow to old telescopes, the University of Toronto has decided to close and sell the historic David Dunlap Observatory north of the city. Apparently, while some research is possible, light pollution is the main reason for its closure. I just hope it won't be broken up and sold (which is possibly the fate of Yerkes) for more McMansions to be built.
