Additional Details:
Hi-from Palomar Mountain California, home of the 200" Hale telescope. 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 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 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."
