The Hale Telescope dome is the central feature on the Palomar Observatory compound, and a grand expression of architecture and engineering in its own right. Any development as large as the Hale dome has many contributors, and a team of nearly 100 workers were active for three years (1936-1938) realizing the Hale dome vision.

Peer-reviewed analyses of Palomar Observatory plates from 1950–1956, led by Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Dr. Stephen Bruehl, identified over 100,000 light-reflecting objects in Earth’s orbit decades before satellites existed, with statistical patterns showing they behave like real physical objects rather than photographic defects. The studies also found a significant correlation between these “mirror-like” transients and nuclear detonations, suggesting possible responsive or monitoring activity by

Tomorrow April 10 marks the 85th anniversary of the Hale Telescope 200-inch mirror blank arriving to Caltech from Corning NY, where it was cast. The largest (future) telescope mirror in the world had traveled for 16 days, 3400 miles across the United States by rail. It was a journey that captured the public’s imagination—thousands would stand along the route to watch the “Big Eye” go by. The Pyrex 200-inch disk arrived safely at Caltech on April 10, 1936.

Observatory Closure Notice The observatory will be closed to the public on Wednesday, 11/5, and Thursday, 11/6 while the 200-inch mirror is cleaned and re-aluminized. ✨ This special aluminizing process only happens every two years and is essential for keeping the telescope performing at its best. What is the aluminizing process like?

Palomar Observatory’s 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope is one of the most productive survey telescopes ever built with a dozen completed surveys since the 1950s. The wide-field imaging capabilities of this telescope (it has a usable field hundreds of times larger than that of the 200-inch Hale Telescope) makes it ideal for conducting systematic surveys of the sky. In recent years, the Samuel Oschin Telescope has been used to scan large regions of the sky to search for transient events—objects tha

The Hale Telescope is used every night for astronomical research thanks to a modern and evolving instrument suite. Some of the Hale instrumentation uses adaptive optics capabilities that correct for distortions caused by Earth’s atmosphere—known as seeing, what makes stars twinkle—to deliver sharp images comparable to those produced by space telescopes from a ground-based facility. PALM-3000 is the facility adaptive optics system for the Hale Telescope. The heart of the system is a deformable mi
