We had such a great "Evening with the Stars for Google" at Lick Observatory! First a history lecture, followed by a science lecture by Dr. Alex Filippenko. Then ample viewing opportunities through the 36-inch Great Refractor and the 40-inch Nickel Telescope with volunteers giving interesting background information. The evening ended with stargazing in the backyard where amateur astronomers had set up ground telescopes to view various cosmic objects. Truly an amazing night!
