The Microsoft Rewards Bing Home Trivial quiz is: This giant telescope is on the edge of the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. What’s it called?
The options given are listed below:
- A Atacama
- B Sahara
- C Rub’ al Khali
The correct answer to this Microsoft Rewards Bing Home Trivial quiz is: is Atacama.
Commonly called the driest place in the world, Chile’s Atacama Desert has an average rainfall of about 0.6 inches per year, although some locations receive as little as 0.04 to 0.12 inches a year. High elevation, clear skies, and virtually no light pollution make this an ideal location for La Silla Observatory, one of the largest observatories in the Southern Hemisphere.
