An extraordinary optical device called a “telectroscope” has been installed at both ends of the Atlantic Ocean which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from New York City to London and vice versa.
In May-June, artist Paul St George is exhibiting outdoor interactive video installations in a fanciful simulated Telectroscope. This original piece of art involves two giant copper and wood lenses pushing their way out of the earth at the Brooklyn Bridge and at the London City Hall. The artist claims a giant tunnel connects them ... and the excited crowds peering and waving at each other across the Atlantic.

Continental to launch Heathrow flights
Continental Airlines is to make Heathrow debut by launching twice-daily nonstop service from both its Newark and Houston hubs on March 29. The world's fifth largest airline revealed plans to begin services to London’s Heathrow Airport under the new US-European open skies rules. The airline will operate at Terminal 4, which will be the future base for all SkyTeam group carriers operating at the airport. Continental’s Heathrow flights will be flown on the 283-seat Boeing 777-200 and the 174-seat Boeing 767-200ER. The airline said it will continue to offer its existing flights from Newark, Houston and Cleveland to London/Gatwick.
Continental had been prevented from operating from Heathrow by the restrictive US-UK bilateral air services agreement. The Houston-based airline has served Gatwick since 1985.
