The Hale 200-inch telescope133 viewsThis summer we took a tour of Mt. Palomar Observatory. The 200-inch (5.08 m) telescope is named after astronomer George Ellery Hale. It was built by Caltech with a $6M grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, using a Pyrex blank manufactured by Corning Glass Works. The telescope (the largest in the world at that time) saw first light January 26, 1949.Jul 27, 2010

Messier 8 region145 viewsThis picture illustrates the area in and around Messier 8 (M8) in the constellation Sagittarius. This region is in the general direction of the center of the galaxy, so there is an abundance of dust and stars! The red regions are concentration of hydrogen gas, the building blocks of future stars. M8 is known as the "Orion nebula of the summer sky". 13 minute exposure (5min Ha, red; 4min blue, 4 min green) taken with the Tzec Maun 106 mm FSQ Tak, SBIG-11000M stacked with Nebulosity, "tweaked" with Photoshop.Apr 25, 2010
