palomar

So much stuff in San Diego is named after Palomar which is the Spanish word for dovecots.

The odd trip an hour away to Palomar mountain & Julian fixes that though:) 4.

San Diego is near the Palomar Observatory and Mount Laguna observatory (see map [1]).

The palomar knot is one the strongest knots for tying a hook to fishing line...unless you do not wetten the knot while tying it.

Two new peer-reviewed papers claim thousands of unexplained light flashes in vintage Palomar telescope images show statistical ties to nuclear tests and UFO reports.

They used the Palomar observatory's Hale telescope to receive the signal.

We use images from the First Palomar Sky Survey to search for multiple (within a plate exposure) transients that, in addition to being point-like, are aligned along a narrow band.

I saw one recently at the Palomar Observatory.

The distances will be so vast and so little light will arrive at Palomar that they will have to employ a superconducting (cooled to a fraction of a Kelvin) nanowire single photon detector.

A brilliant young astronomy professor, whose name I don't recall, paid cash for a brand-new red convertible sports car, drove it at twice the speed limit from pasadena to palomar mountain then over a precipice.

JPL is building a "hybrid" Ka/X-band/optical terminal in the desert in Goldstone that may be able to let Palomar spend more time on astronomy.

This comment made my day: "Michael Vergara 23 September 2009 at 6:18 pm # I am a Docent at Palomar Observatory.

> Palomar Observatory in Southern California, home to the famous 200-inch Hale Telescope — the “Big Eye” — has closed the kitchen that served elegant sit-down meals to astronomers during their observing runs.

Palomar Observatory isn't too far from the New Mexico deserts where nuclear weapons testing occurred.

Or see them with the greater eye of Palomar, rushing all apart from some common starting point when they were perhaps all together.

At Palomar, we purchased a bunch of Galileoscopes.
