Palomar Observatory
Welcome to the website of the Palomar Observatory.The Palomar Observatory is located in north San Diego County, California. It is a world-class center of astronomical research that is owned and operated by the California Institute of Technology. The observatory is home to five telescopes that are nightly used for a wide variety of astronomical research programs.

Light Pollution and the Palomar Observatory
Light Pollution and the Palomar Observatory Earth HourSaturday, March 28, 2009National Dark-Sky Week: April 20 - 26, 2009What is Light pollution? Light pollution is any adverse effect of light caused by society.Light pollution is an increasing problem for observatories everywhere. One of the reasons Palomar Mountain was selected as the site for the 200-inch telescope was its dark skies that would allow observation of the faintest galaxies without the interference of city lights. Since 1934, rapid urbanization of southern California has resulted in a significant increase in the amount of sky glow. If such light pollution continues to increase, it will seriously reduce the effectiveness of the Palomar Observatory for many types of research.Caltech and the Palomar Observatory have worked with and will continue to work with City, County, & Tribal governments to diminish the effects of local light pollution.This simulation (3.6 mb) shows how the increase of light pollution over time makes the night sky harder and harder to see -- not only for astronomers working at Palomar, but for everyone all over the Southern California region.
