Under The 100″ Mount Wilson Telescope

Description: This one is beautiful in its abstractness. I messed with the colors a little but it was fairly monochrome to start with.

On Sunday we got to go inside the huge 100 inch Hooker telescope on Mount Wilson Observatory (where Hubble made his discoveries) and listen to the Eclipse String Quartet play pieces from Philip Glass & Osvaldo Golijov. It was incredible. The dome was opened & rotated 360º before the show, it all still works! The rotation of the huge dome was so smooth we could barely feel it
