It's astronomical.....how big our universe is!

This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the nations largest telescope open for public viewing.  I spent from 5pm-2am Friday delighting in some of the spectacular sights our universe has to offer.  I saw globular clusters, nebulae, comets and planets! Here are some photographs of the 60" telescope on Mt. Wilson.

The tiny cluster of buildings in the middle of the photo is Downtown Los Angeles!

Famous astronomers have lockers too!
