Kulukhuni ukukholelwa ukuthi indawo yokuqala ye-mountain-top yokubheka umhlaba-eyakhiwe ngo-1888 - izoqhubeka isebenza futhi ihlinzeke ososayensi ngolwazi olubalulekile. Ngemuva kwenkonzo engaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka, i-Lick Observatory isesekuqaleni futhi iyinhloko isikhungo socwaningo lwesayensi, siqhutshwa yiNyuvesi yaseCalifornia eSanta Cruz. Izivakashi zamukelekile, futhi indawo ephakeme yezintaba iyindawo enhle yokuhamba usuku oluvela eSilicon Valley.
Esikhathini se-Lick Observatory, ungangena ngaphakathi kwedome yokuqala ukuze uzwe ngomlando wayo kanye nempumelelo yezobuchwepheshe. Ukuhamba okufishane kuya esiteshini se-Shane isibonakaliso esiseduzane, lapho izibukiso zizochaza ukuthi kungani enye ye-telescopes enkulu esetshenziselwa ukuthola amaplanethi ngaphandle kwesistimu yethu yelanga.
Uhlelo lwabavakashi besihlobo
Indlela enhle kunazo zonke yokubona i-Lick Observatory iwukuba iqhaza ohlelweni lwabo lwabavakashela i-Summer ngenkathi ungavakashela kusihlwa bese uthole ithuba elingavamile lokubheka nge-telescopes. Kuyathandwa kakhulu ukuthi bayayithengisa njalo ngonyaka - futhi bayeluleka ngokuletha izingane ezingaphansi kuka-8. Umchungechunge wabo we-Music of the Spheres ukwenziwa ehlobo. Bhalisela uhlu lwabo lokuposa ukuze uthole ulwazi ngenkathi yamanje.
Amathiphu e-Lick Observatory
- Thatha izinkambo zamahhala zanikezwa zonke ihora lesehora ukuze ziqonde ukubaluleka nokufezekiswa kwe-Lick Observatory.
- Izingane zingathola ukuthi le ndawo iyincithakalo - ngaphandle uma incane yezinkanyezi ze-wannabe.
- I-Lick Observatory inamamitha angu-4 200 ukuphakama, futhi kuyoba yinde kakhulu lapho kunoma ikuphi lapho uqala khona. Thatha ingqimba eyengeziwe yokugqoka.
- Gcwalisa ithangi lakho ngaphambi kokuba uqale intaba - ayikho isiteshi segesi phezulu lapho.
- Uzothola isitolo sesipho, imishini yokuthengisa, nezindawo zokuphumula, kodwa akukho ndawo yokudla.
- Ungazami ukuya ku-Lick Observatory ebusuku - ayikho into ongayibona, futhi izibani zakho zezimoto zingaphazamisa ukubonwa kososayensi.
- Umgwaqo okhuphuka entabeni uyisicefe-sinciphisa noma ubani ohluphekayo ukugula. Letha ikhambi lakho ozithandayo.
- Ukufinyeleleka kwezihlalo zabakhubazekile kuya kwedome engu-120-intshi, shayela u-408-274-5061 ngaphambi kokuthi uhambe.
Umlando omfushane we-Lick Observatory
Namuhla, ungase umangale lapho uthola ucezu olusenqenqemeni lwamagesi wesayensi eduze neSan Jose eSilicon Valley, kodwa kwakuyindaba ehlukile ngasekupheleni kwawo-1880.
U-Millionaire noSan Jose uhlala uJames Lick, owenzela inzuzo yakhe ngesikhathi sokuthenga i-gold gold rush, wabulawa isifo ngesikhathi eseneminyaka engu-77 ubudala. Ngemuva kokuthi (kuthiwa) wanciphisa indodana yakhe yedwa ngaphandle kwentando yakhe ngokungahoxisisi isilwane sesilwane, uLick efuna indlela yokusebenzisa kahle inhlanhla yakhe esele. U-Lick ake umngane wakhe uGeorge Davidson amkhombise ukuba ayeke izinhlelo zokuzakhela ipiramidi ngenhlonipho yakhe, esikhundleni salokho ukuxhasa ukuthuthukiswa kwethalasecope yezwe eliphakeme kunazo zonke emhlabeni.
Kwaphela ngo-1888, eminyakeni engu-11 emva kokufa kukaLick, isibonakaliso se-Lick Observatory sika-36-inch refractor telescope (esenziwe nge-glass lens ukugxila ekukhanyeni) kwakuyiyona ndlela enkulu kunayo yonke eyakhiwe.
Ngesikhathi isibonakude se-Shane 120-intshi sigcwaliswa esiseduzane, umklamo wawushintshe ekusebenziseni izibuko esikhundleni sezingilazi zeglasi, futhi namuhla isibonakaliso samasentimitha angu-36 sibili ngobukhulu bohlobo lwawo, enkulu kunazo zonke njengesibonakaliso se-intshi angu-40 eJerkes Bay, Wisconsin.
Vumela ihora ukuba ufike lapho kusuka ku-San Jose futhi okungenani ihora noma ngaphezulu ukubuka nxazonke. Noma kunini isikhathi esihle sokuvakashela, kodwa kuhle kakhulu ngosuku olucacile futhi kumnandi kakhulu uma uthole amathikithi kwenye yekhonsathi zasehlobo. Sebenzisa ikhamera yewebhu ukuze uyibone manje.
Uphi i-Lick Observatory?
I-Lick Observatory itholakala eNtabeni iHamilton, empumalanga yedolobha laseSan Jose, efinyeleleka nge-Mount Hamilton Road. Umgwaqo uhle, kodwa waklanyelwe amahhashi nezinqola futhi ulula futhi uhamba. Ebusika, imvula esigodini ingaba yiqhwa eNtabeni iHamilton, futhi umgwaqo ungagcina uze uqede.

Uma Uthande I-Lick Observatory, Ungase Uphinde Uwuthande
I-Mount Wilson, engaphandle kweLos Angeles ibuyele ekhasini ye-telescope engama-intshi angu-60 eyayiyona enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni lapho igcwaliswa ngo-1908. Eduze eSan Diego, ungavakashela i-Mount Palomar ene-Hale Telescope engu-200 intshi eyakhiwe ngo-1948 namanje phakathi ngobukhulu emhlabeni. Enyakatho yeCalifornia, i- Hat Creek Radio Observatory eduze neNtaba Lassen ogama layo lonke i-Allen Telescope Array liwumzamo ohlanganyelwe yi-SETI Institute (Search for Intelligence Intelligence Extra) kanye ne-SRI International.
