The UC Observatories operate at the shops and campus, and manage which observatory?

• A. Lick Observatory
• B. Palomar Observatory
• C. Keck Observatory
• D. Hale Observatory

Answer: (A)

The UC Observatories oversee UC’s astronomical facilities, and the observatory they manage is Lick Observatory. Lick sits on Mount Hamilton and has long been the University of California’s primary research facility, with operations coordinated through UC Observatories. The other sites are not under UC Observatories’ direct management: Palomar Observatory is associated with Caltech, Keck Observatory is a joint venture involving UC and Caltech but not exclusively run by UC Observatories, and the term Hale Observatory refers to the historic Palomar telescope rather than a current UC-operated site.
