Observatory - Show Us Your California
Hi friends,

This post is an entry into the weekly Show Us Your California contest hosted by @thesocalhive where we share an aspect of our California.

High above Los Angeles, in the San Gabriel Mountains, sits a world class observatory - the historic Mount Wilson Observatory.

The observatory is famous for having a number of important telescopes as well as solar mirrors that are studying the sun.  My family and I took the opportunity to go up to the observatory and take one of the docent led tours - we had a blast.  Here are some pics:

There is another famous observatory in the heart of LA, the Griffith Observatory, but that is more for tourists with a show, manicured grounds, and one telescope - this one is more gritty with its research focus, remote location, and multiple telescopes and solar projects with partners from schools and the national research foundation. 

It was fun to explore and learn!  

Thanks for coming by and checking out a piece of my California.

Brian

Your life is your family and vice versa, it's admirable how you always talk about them, you're lucky, well you know, I congratulate you for being a good father and husband, some take for granted that it's always like that but NO...some evil men abandon their families to their fate
