About the RSS-NIR LOGO
- The circular shape and red ring around the circumference is modeled after the Space Astronomy Lab.
- The stars in the background are taken from the Department of Astronomy and the Space Science and Engineering Center
- The African continent represents the final destination and ties the logo to the SALT logo.
- The earth and sky are shown in the background to represent that this is a ground-based sky observing instrument.
- The stars are arranged into the Southern Cross, a constellation only viewable from the Southern Hemisphere.
- The series of circles represent that the NIR will be on a telescope and the red beams indicate that it will be viewing the near infrared spectrum.
