Palomar Mountain Observatory

The observatory dome atop Palomar Mountain in northern San Diego County is about the same size as the Pantheon in Rome! It was built in the 30's and 40's and contains the 200" Hale Telescope.

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings." --John Burroughs
