We saw two huge telescopes, but standing inside the domes was incredibly cold. At any rate, seeing these huge instruments was really mind-blowing.
Another really mind-blowing aspect of the trip: we learned that EINSTEIN used to study there! WOW! Now, it wasn't as revolutionary as walking Paul's footsteps in Ephesus... but it was sure neat to see pictures of him standing in the exact same places as we were.
Heres my professor, Dr. Bloom (left) along with our precious 88 year old tour guide (right). The brightness is an image of the sun-- we were looking at sun spots.
And, apparently they like organization here at Mt. Wilson: (it's confirmed...my calling is definitely not to be a scientist)
Next week we're going another field trip, this time to the desert to look at the stars. Check back to see some exciting night photography!
