I&#8217;ll be spending the balance of the month in central California, working in the Lick Observatory Archives at UC-Santa Cruz. This trip marks the beginning of an entirely new research project for me&#8212;new topic, new time period, new theoretical concerns. I&#8217;m more excited about this than I have been about anything I&#8217;ve worked on to date; I hope that means I&#8217;m headed in a good direction. Regardless, I get to spend some time reading original correspondence and papers related to the construction of the observatory in the 1880s. How cool is that?<\/p>\n<p>The above panorama of the observatory building was produced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rueike\/4189596498\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rick (Ruei ke)<\/a>.
