I think it's neat how much librarians know about certain children that their parents never find out about.

Amazing! So wonderful you made it there. My husband and I went up to the Keck Observatory on Hawaii and it was one of those noteable life experiences. Hanging out one evening with a bunch of astronomers and a bunch of telescopes!

That's awesome! We've driven up there, but it didn't occur to me that we might visit. Now that's on my bucket list!

Looks like they stopped the nightly stargazing program. But they have something once a month with limited space. https://pay.hilo.hawaii.edu/maunakea/kuene/stargazing.php

I delighted in reading your post John Lovie. Thanks for making me aware that Mount Palomar is still a working installation.

Lovely John. I always enjoy reading about people visiting their childhood dream locations, and staying in touch with that wonder.
