Palomar Observatory

Today visited Palomar mountain.

I filmed with the Schmidt telescope and posed as Edwin Hubble did long ago.

I then checked out the size of the mirror for the 5.1m Hale telescope.

and checked out the telescope with Scott.

Well now I've seen the telescopes that have discovered the size of the universe, the expansion of the universe, dwarf planets, extra-solar planets, quasars, magnetic fields in sunspots and many more. It's basically most of the history of modern astronomy. Just right for a geek like me :P

Cheers,
Jeff
