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.

@LickObservatory Thank you. Just saw it from the valley. There is a dusting on Umunhum too. Was there 5 feet a few weeks ago?

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
