Connect the Bay: Lick Observatory

Hidden in plain view thousands of feet above the Santa Clara Valley, the University of California’s Lick Observatory has been a quiet leader in optical and infrared astronomical observation beginning in 1888. Staff Astronomer Dr. Elinor Gates gives CTB a tour behind the scenes of this local treasure, and shares her efforts to make sure women are taking their place in the field of astronomy. In addition to being a historical landmark, cutting edge research continues here every clear night of the year. For more information: www.lickobserv...
