Hi - from Palomar Mountain, California, home of the 200" Hale teleschope. This is really something to see! This revolving dome weighs 1,000 tons! The 530 ton telescope has a distance capability of over one billion light years, or 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles! Reading about the speed of light (did you know it travels 186,000 miles a second?) and the immensity of space truly staggers the imagination... And I'm thinking about "little ole' you."
