Under British Skies – Episode 23 EXTRA – Lick Observatory

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

Recently, I was lucky enough to have visited the Lick Observatory up Mount Hamilton.  Dr Paul Lynam was kind enough to show me round, and also to provide a very interesting interview about the history of the Lick Observatory, its telescopes, current work ongoing, and his own astronomical research projects.
