It is a station of Harvard College located in California with a view of Glendale and Centeral Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, "ON A VERY CLEAR DAY."
As I viewed this incredible sky in the wee hours after midnight it occurred to me we have a physicist by the name of Bryan that is a 'Naked Eye Sky Viewer' Nut. He loves to make skyviewing easy and fun. He thinks it is a novel way of being interesting. He's right. It was a beautiful sky and one rarely available.
The 'starry - starry' night of the Wilson Observatory is a very rare find indeed. So, rare one realizes it takes an act of God for Wilson to find it's scientific wonder. I guess that is why Wilson has a MONASTERY on it's grounds.

The longer I enjoyed the view after midnight on a rare occassion of a cloudless sky in North Carolina with all that silence surrounding me I drifted into outer space longing for the even more beautiful pictures of Hubble.
It occurred to me all of a sudden that the draconian and stupidly regressive administration in DC was most probably replacing Hubble with the likes of Wilson. If that is the case, it doesn't even come close because the collection of work from the Wilson Telescopes have proven to be limited in finding objects in Deep Space and the best of it's work is above.
The 'religious' tone to Wilson is due to the fact it is a distant observatory where Monks once resided. It has absolutely nothing to do with sound science or the fact the orginal monastery burnt to the ground.
Knock it off George. Your indifference to science and the manipulation of the populous of the USA including the minds of children is grossly obvious. Cheney needs to retire. Poor man.
Can't the Pope bless Hubble or something?
