Mount Wilson Observatory In Danger From L.A. Fire
An anonymous reader writes "Mount Wilson is in danger from the Station fire burning near L.A. Their servers have gone offline, but there's a temporary mirror cam. It doesn't look good. Picture twenty-four on the L.A. Times photo gallery shows the observatory from the air. If anyone has any inside news on the condition of the facility, I'm sure there are lots of people on Slashdot who would love to hear it."
The current alpha works great and makes /. almost snappy!

I guess they have zero visibility now! It's melting, it's melting... Yikes... we'll miss them. Surely the glass mirrors could be destroyed in seconds or days without there even being direct fire burning the buildings... it's warping... it's warping... beam the telescopes up scotty... it was a far better thing that they have done... opening our eyes to the universe... to infinity and beyond...
Maybe they'll need those adjustable glasses retrofitted after? http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/josh_silver_demos_adjustable_liquid_filled_eyeglasses.html
A sad song of sorrow for the mechanical eyes that have showed us so much. May you rest in pieces.
Thanks.

So as a guy whose daughter was raped by someone who lost a lot in a wildfire, I'll have to ask you to kindly FUCK OFF. Go home and stop pretending to be a rapist to prove a point. Let the real people post about reality.
As the mother of the guy living in her basement whose daughter was raped by someone who lost a lot in a wildfire, I'll have to ask you both to kindly FUCK OFF.
As the basement in which all this nasty shit was going down, not to mention being incinerated in this fire to boot can't you all just FUCK OFF and leave me alone please ?
