The process of developing an instrument for a telescope, installing it, and witnessing its inaugural use in the presence of enthusiastic astronomers is a pivotal educational journey that can profoundly shape a future career. We're proud to be able to accomodate students at Lick.

M. Hamilton Rd is closed between Three Springs Rd and Quimby Rd for repairs to the washed out section due to storms. From San Jose to Lick go via Quimby Rd until the repairs are completed (November 2023). Quimby Rd is steeper & narrower than M. Hamilton Rd, DRIVE CAREFULLY.

@chrishe10347730 Mt. Hamilton has had over 55" of snow this year.

[Lick Observatory @LickObservatory]

Snow AGAIN!!!! Road is currently closed while they plow and assess conditions. We don’t know when it will reopen. We'll post when we have more information. 🥶 #bayareasnow #observatory #stormwatch #WeatherUpdate

[Lick Observatory @LickObservatory]

@chrishe10347730 We measured 5 to 6 inches at Keppler peak this morning.

[Lick Observatory @LickObservatory]

CalTrans just came up to plow. The road is not closed now. Even though it looked pretty nasty out there just a short time ago, it is clearing up on the western slope. We've heard reports of a propane truck blocking the road about two miles east of the observatory. CHP is on scene

A special thank you goes to all those who shared their concern with the Council. Thank you for supporting us regarding the impact on Lick Observatory from the regional acceleration of light pollution. 👏🌃https://t.co/EPUxyaW8yz
