Mount Wilson Observatory
After an hour drive from LA downtown through beautiful mountain views, I finally have the chance to see the equipment that Hale used to observe the Sun that start the modern era of Solar Physics, as well as the 100-inch Hooker Telescope that Hubble used to find the famous Hubble's Law

Yes, all these, except maybe the Snow Solar Telescope, are in active use.wtyu21 寫:100吋胡克望遠鏡Still in Service???
The Michelson Interferometer is in the CHARA Museum. The optical interferometer part is replaced by the CHARA, which consists of 6 1-m telescopes arranged as 3 groups of 2, each group at approx. 120 degrees apart and at 2 different radii from the Hooker telescope.
The 60-inch reflector is mainly used for public star observations on weekends.
