The National Solar Observatory in New Mexico is set to open back up on Monday. The federal government closed it down last week without revealing much else about the situation. The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy which manages the site confirms there has been an investigation into criminal activity at the observatory near Alamogordo. They said the suspect in that investigation potentially posed a threat to local staff and residents.
