On Palomar Mountain, 69 miles north of San Diego, is the largest astronomical observatory in the world. Engineers at the California Institute of Technology spent many years alone in the grinding and polishing of the great 200 inch mirror lens, the largest reflector known to man. When completed, this observatory will consist of seven buildings, costing $6,000,000.00.
