On Friday morning we went up to the Mt. Wilson Observatory in the San Gabriel Mountains. The views along the way were spectacular. From the top you can see down to LA.
Mountains floating in the sky...or actually, floating above the smog. Ugh. But kind of neat-looking.
Mt. Wilson Observatory has been around for about 100 years and has many telescopes for research on the universe. They had a small museum with photos they have taken of the sun, galaxies, etc. This building houses one of the larger telescopes.
One of the telescopes. The blue part is the telescope and the white part is the mounting that allows it to turn.
Maybe we'll see a bear on this trip! We can hope.
