| Its not a blind curve if you put a mirror on it. |
 |
| Siri, directions to Lick Observatory |
 |
| As I got closer, the road Siri showed the winding road... |
 |
| She did not lie. |
 |
| Arrived |
 |
| 4000+ feet above San Jose, CA |
 |
| 36 inch Refractor Telescope and James Lick's Headstone. A refractor telescope uses a huge lens to collect and focus light to the eyepiece. |
 |
| The large dome is the 120 inch Reflecting Telescope, and other sciencey stuff across the road. |
 |
| Crossing the road to see the rest of the facility is dangerous for more reasons than just the motorcycles that love that winding road. |
 |
| The 120 in reflecting telescope uses a large mirror to collect the starlight and then focus it to where it can be viewed. |
And a few extra pics and your musical interlude.
