Begin at Chaos Manor. That's my desk and chair. The window looks out at
the oriole/humming bird feeder. |
That's Larry Niven at my desk. We're just finishing The Burning City
for about the 5th time but this time it really is done. |
Up on Wilson. That's Marilyn Niven, with Los Angeles in the background. |

Those are the solar telescope towers. |
And that's the dome for the 100 inch. That doesn't sound like much but
with adaptive optics--the rubber telescope--and the splendid seeing from
Mount Wilson they get resolutions better than Hubble gets from space.
Of course Hubble's discovery of the real size of the universe was done
from this telescope... |
This isn't a room it's an instrument: the light pipes will bring in the
light from the interferometer array to this place, where the light paths
will be adjusted to fractions of a micron errors so the beams can combine.
When they are done the resolution will see a footprint on the Moon. From
here. |
