Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history and discoveries of the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, California, established in 1888 as the home of what was, at the time, the most powerful telescope in the world. Constructed after the death of James Lick, who left an endowment to create an observatory that would surpass any other, it continues to play a vital role in astronomy. The book describes its founder, its construction, and its scientific contributions, taking the reader on a tour of the observatory and its facilities, and introducing them to the astronomers who have worked there. From the observatory's founding to its ongoing role in modern astronomy, this book explores its integral role in shaping our scientific and cultural understanding of the universe, making complex information accessible to a broad and appreciative audience of curious minds.
