= Whole Earth Telescope
{wiki=Whole_Earth_Telescope}
The Whole Earth Telescope (WET) is an international collaboration aimed at monitoring variable stars and other astronomical phenomena on a continuous basis. It consists of a network of observatories around the world, which allows astronomers to observe the same object continuously over periods of time that may span from days to weeks. This global coordination takes advantage of different time zones and the Earth's rotation to provide nearly uninterrupted observations.
