COSMIC MESSAGE
The summer night sky is clear, and moonlight illuminates the dome of the Hale 200-inch Telescope at Palomar Observatory. The familiar stars of the Teapot asterism in Sagittarius shine above the dome. The observatory dome's two massive shutters are closed tight on a clear night. This unusual situation is a precaution, protecting the instrument from wildfires in the area.
