Foothill College Observatory

2014 West then East, California, Road Trip, States

Meg and Jason took us to the observatory at Foothill College this morning. Our docent was the VP of the Peninsula Astronomical Society. We truly enjoyed looking at sunspots and solar flares, learning about The Carrington Event, and listening to the acoustic effects of the observatory dome.

It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
