In the 100-inch building all is steel, gray, and blue. In the 60-inch, more oranges and yellows.<br /><br />Shell, I believe you're right! A simple lunch, coffee... Mr. George Ellery Hale, who was so instrumental in designing and building Pasadena, and the Observatory, and making it all possible, might have eaten fancier.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-4760332360124139952015-05-31T02:35:38.231-07:002015-05-31T02:35:38.231-07:00It's really rather mind boggling ~ so easy to ...It's really rather mind boggling ~ so easy to forget people with minds like Edwin Hubble's are everyday people, sitting on a bentwood chair in exactly a place like this, discovering things that mean nothing will ever be the same again.

Those panoramas of John's are fabulous, too !Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-10271214896736388632015-05-30T21:17:43.323-07:002015-05-30T21:17:43.323-07:00Fascinating to see it open up.
