Mount Wilson Observatory

Categories: News | Astronomy & Space | Travel
  • The Mount Wilson Observatory is a historical scientific observatory located in the San Gabriel Mountains of California, high above the city of Pasadena.http://www.mtwilson.edu/vis.php

    On the morning of August 31, 2009, the Station Fire burned within a quarter of a mile from the observatory. Overnight, fighters cleared brush and aerial crews dropped fire retardant material to slow the fire's progression towards the observatory. A fire inspector with the Los Angeles County Fire Department said the crew's efforts may have saved the structure.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/08/firefighters-try-to-battle-back-station-fire-from-acton-mt-wilson.html
