[Update (19:40 MT): On Twitter right now, several friends are saying Mt. Wilson -- a very famous and historic observatory -- may get hit by these fires. As of this moment, news is unclear. Yikes.] [Update II (20:40 MT): Clifford Johnson has heard that the authorities may have to let the fires take Mt. Wilson. I have not confirmed this yet. If it's true, well, we'll see.] [Update III (23:00 p.m. MT) Firefighters will stay at Mt. Wilson to fight back the flames. Oh my. Such heroism is incredible. But... the Hooker 100 inch telescope at Mt. Wilson is what was use to discover the Universe is expanding. We filmed part of "The Skeptologists" there, and I touched the mirror of that telescope. I hope it can be saved, but not at the cost of human life. I hope they take care there.]
There are wildfires burning in southern California ...
