Today we celebrate George Ellery Hale’s birthday, it is in fact his 153rd orbit around the sun. Hale was an amazing organizer of American Science. His accomplishments range from building in succession four of the world’s largest telescopes (the 40-inch at Yerkes, the 60-inch and 100-inch at Mt. Wilson, and the 200-inch at Mt. Palomar. Even a partial list of his accomplishments are far too numerous to mention. Celebrating this event is a stellar line up of speakers that we hope will enrich your appreciation of George Ellery Hale’s contributions that continue to support and inspire our community.
