Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba i-first-top ye-mountain-observatory - eyakhelwe ngo-1888-iza kusebenza kunye nokubonelela izazinzulu ngolwazi oluxabisekileyo. Emva kwekhulu leminyaka yenkonzo, i-Lick Observatory isabokuqala kwaye iphambili kwiziko lophando lwezesayensi, liqhutywa yiYunivesithi yaseCalifornia eSanta Cruz. Abaveleli bayamkelekile, kwaye indawo ephakamileyo yeentaba yindawo enkulu yokuhamba ngosuku ukusuka eSilicon Valley.
KwiLick Observatory, ungangena ngaphakathi kwidome lokuqala ukuva malunga nembali yayo kunye nokuphumelela kwezobuchwepheshe. Uhambo olufutshane ukuya kwi-telescope ekufutshane yeShane, apho imibukiso ichaza ukuba kutheni enye yeetelesiko ezinkulu ezisetyenziselwa ukufumana iplanethi ngaphandle kwenkqubo yethu yelanga.
Inkqubo yoTyelelo lwabalusi
Indlela enonwabo kakhulu yokubona i-Lick Observatory kukuthatha inxaxheba kwiNkqubo yoTyelelo lwabahlobo xa unokutyelela ngokuhlwa kwaye ufumane ithuba elincinci lokujonga ngeetelesiko. Kuyathandwa kakhulu ukuba bathengise ngonyaka - kwaye bacebisa ngokuchasa abantwana abangaphantsi kwe-8. Iingqungquthela zabo zoMculo we-Spheres ze-concert nazo zenziwa ehlobo. Bhalisela uluhlu lwabo lokuposa ukuze uthole ulwazi lwexesha langoku.
Iingcebiso zeLick Observatory
- Thatha iiholide zamahhala zinikezwe ihafu yesure ukuqonda ukubaluleka kunye nokufezekiswa kweLick Observatory.
- Abantwana banokuyifumana le ndawo inxantathu - ngaphandle kokuba banenkwenkwezi yeenkwenkwezi ze-wannabe.
- I-Lick Observatory i-4 200 feet elevation, kwaye iya kuba yinyuka phezulu kunokuba ikuphi na ukuqala khona. Thatha ingqungquthela yengubo.
- Gcwalisa itanki yakho ngaphambi kokuba uqale intaba - akukho siteshi segesi phezulu apho.
- Uya kufumana isitolo sesipho, oomatshini bokuthengisa, kunye neendawo zokuhlala, kodwa akukho ndawo yokutya.
- Ungazami ukuya kwi-Lick Observatory ngobusuku - akukho nto yokubona, kwaye izibane zakho zeemoto ziphazamisa ukugqithwa kwezenzululwazi.
- Indlela eya kunyuka entabeni yinkwenkwezi-incitshiswa kumntu ophethwe yisifo sokunyakaza. Yenza isiluleko sakho ozithandayo.
- Ukufikelela kwi-wheelchair ukuya kuma-intshi engama-120 intshi, fowuna 408-274-5061 ngaphambi kokuba uhambe.
Imbali emfutshane ye-Lick Observatory
Namhlanje, usenokumangaliswa ukufumana isalathisi esinqununu seSan Jose kwiSilicon Valley, kodwa ibali elifaniyo ngasekupheleni kwee-1880.
U-Millionaire kunye noSan Jose uhlala uJacob Lick, owenzela i-estate estate ngexesha laseCalifornia, wayesebenza ngesifo esiphambanweni kwiminyaka engama-77 ubudala. Emva kokuba (kuthiwa) wamnqumla unyana wakhe kuphela ngenxa yokunyanzela ukunyaniseka kwakhe, uLick ekhangele indlela yokusebenzisa kakuhle i-fortune yayo. ULick uvumele umhlobo wakhe uGeorge Davidson amkholise ukuba ayeke izicwangciso zokwakha iipiramidi ekuzukeleni kwakhe, kwaye endaweni yoko ukuxhasa ukuphuhlisa i-telescope yezona zinto zihamba phambili.
Kwagqitywa ngo-1888, iminyaka eyi-11 emva kokufa kukaLick, i-Lick Observatory ye-36-intshi ye-refractor telescope (eyenziwe nge-glass lens ukugxila ekukhanyeni) yayiyinxalenye enkulu kunazo zonke.
Ngethuba i-telescope yeShekane eyi-120-intshi yagqitywa kufuphi, i-design yayitshintshile ekusebenziseni izibuko endaweni yeelensi zeglasi, kwaye namhlanje i-telescope engama-36 iyona yowona mkhulu ngobukhulu bayo, inkulu kakhulu ibe yi-telescope engama-intshi engama-40 eJerkes Bay, Wisconsin.
Vumela iyure ukuba ufike apho esuka eSan Jose kwaye ubuncinane iyure okanye njalo ukujonga ngapha. Naliphi na ixesha lixesha elihle lokutyelela, kodwa lihle kakhulu ngosuku olucacileyo kwaye ngokukhethekileyo kumnandi xa ufumana amathikithi kwelinye lamakhonsathi ehlobo. Sebenzisa i-webcam ikhamera ukuyibona ngoku.
Uphi i-Lick Observatory?
I-Lick Observatory itholakala kwiNtaba yeHamilton, empuma kweso sixeko saseSan Jose, ifumaneka ngeNtaba yeHamilton Road. Le ndlela ilungile, kodwa yenzelwe amahashe kunye neenqwelo zincinci kwaye zincinci. Ebusika, imvula entlamini ingaba yikhephu kwiNtaba yaseHamilton, kwaye indlela iya kuvala ide idibanise.
Hlola imeko kwi-intanethi ngaphambi kokuba uhambe (faka iNqanawa yeNombolo yeNombolo 130) okanye ubize i-Lick Observatory Gift Shop kwi-408-274-5061.
Ukuba Uthande i-Lick Observatory, Unokuthi uyenze
INtaba iWilson, ngaphandle kweLos Angeles iyinombolo ye-telescope engama-intshi engama-60 eyayiyona mkhulu kwihlabathi xa igqityiwe ngo-1908. Kufuphi neSan Diego, unokutyelela iNtaba yasePalomar ene-Telescope yakhe ene-intshi yama-intshi engama-200 eyakhiwe ngo-1948. enkulu kunazo zonke ehlabathini. Enyakatho yeKalifornia, i- Hat Creek Radio Observatory kufuphi neNtaba iLassen i-Allen iTelescope Array iyinzame ehlangeneyo yi-SETI Institute (Search for Intelligence Intelligence Extra) kunye ne-SRI International.
