A century ago, the design and construction of the "Big Eye" started the legend of the Palomar Observatory and profoundly influenced the development of astronomy in the second half of the 20th century. First Light stars James Gunn, considered by many professionals to be the finest astronomer of our time. Since the 1990s, Gunn has launched the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, using a 2.5-Meter telescope to scan the northern hemisphere starry sky with the goal of drawing a color three-dimensional electronic map of the universe. Under his leadership, this became the most successful sky survey program in history and continues to this day. The project captured hundreds of millions of images of celestial objects and the spectra of millions of celestial objects and made them available to the world. This directly changed the way astronomers work, and astronomy has since entered the era of big data.

The old wolf king, who was kicked off the throne and driven out of the pack by his son, captured and killed a majestic red deer and dragged it back to his territory to prove that he was not old, and finally died sadly.
