*** About Lick Observatory: Founded in 1888, the Lick Observatory is nestled atop Mount Hamilton in California. As the world's first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory, it has been at the forefront of astronomical research for over a century. The facility is named after James Lick, an eccentric millionaire who financed the construction of the observatory to house what was then the world's largest refracting telescope. Today, Lick serves both as a hub for cutting-edge research and as an educational facility, offering public programs that include night viewings, tours, and lectures, thus continuing its legacy of bridging the gap between scientific discovery and public inquiry.
