Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton

The Lick Observatory, which was constructed just outside San Jose, California from the $700,000 bequest of James Lick in 1888, was the world's first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory. Over its long and illustrious history, the telescopes at Lick have discovered several of Jupiter's moons, a Near-Earth Astroid, and many extrasolar planets. Information of General Interest offers readers over a dozen categories, such as Telescopes & Instruments, Lick Picture Gallery, and Lick History. Clicking Information for Observers opens access to categories such as Weather, Telescopes, and many others. Of special interest, viewers can also look through the Mt. Hamilton Web Camera, which updates every three minutes.
