"In an article published in 'Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences'... #astrophysicist and #historian Eun-Joo Ahn reconstructs the history of the trail-widening that made #MtWilson Observatory possible, arguing that the road should itself be understood as scientific #infrastructure." #histstm
A nice sunset from the mountains above Los Angeles. Looking toward Malibu from the parking lot for the Mt. Wilson Observatory
If you ever stumble upon Red Box Road give it a try #MtWilson

A striking dark green, red, and white bird perched gracefully on a tree branch, showcasing its vibrant plumage against the natural backdrop.

Map of N191CH helicopter doing runs along Chaney Trail
Still of video showing "cloud" forming in distance behind a radio tower
Is there something going on at #ChaneyTrail? Seems like a tanker helicopter is doing runs: https://adsb.lol/?icao=a16c1c and the view from #MtWilson west seems like there's a recent cloud(?) forming: https://app.watchduty.org/camera/2196/fullscreen
A beautiful sunset from the deck of the Mt. Wilson Observatory cafe area.
#getoutside and head to the top of a mountain for the #sunset

The sun about to dip below the clouds and a distant ridge. The ridge hides Los Angeles and makes you feel very removed from the busy metropolis below.
Happy #stunday ! This was an stunning sunset from the observatory on #mtwilson high above Pasadena

A treacherous mountain road wraps along the edge of a giant cliff, there’s a section of sunlight hitting the road and a downhill skateboarder in that light. Tall pine trees line the cliff.
#TBT My first pic in a real skate magazine. @farminghills.bsky.social in the distance on a magnificent, historic mountain road above #LA

My first look at the Eaton/Muir/Idlehour devastation from the burn area on Wilson. Seeing lots of new growth up here already, but the smell of smoke is still strong. #eatoncanyon #mtwilson #upperwintercreek #hiking #sangabriels
www.mtwilson.edu/concerts/ Squeeeeee telescope concerts are back! I was so scared Mt Wilson was going to burn down during the Eaton fire…. #mtwilson

The #MtWilson cameras are offline... They weren't offline even in 2020 for the Bobcat Fire...

"The Strange & Curious Adventure of a California Snowball" for this #FirstDayofWinter.
SoCal boosters have long promoted the ability to travel from the mountains -> beach in a single day. For this tourism ad (1916), this snowball traveled from #MtWilson to #VeniceBeach. #WinterSolstice #History
Peaceful mountain layers stretching into the horizon. This view from Mt. Wilson is pure serenity.

Clear skies and incredible views from the peak of Mt. Wilson. A perfect day to soak in the beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains!
