Looks like Mt. Wilson is going to be ok

Here's a link to their moved website at http://joy.chara.gsu.edu/CHARA/fire.php. They have been working hard at setting backfires to remove fuel from the largest of the wildfires. I heard this morning that the "Station" fire is about 38% contained. They have a long ways to go before it's over.

California is burning down

Being that I am an astronomy nut, I wanted to share the webcam from the top of Mt. Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles.
