The first permanent mountaintop observatory was the Lick Observatory.  Built in 1888 by the Warner and Swasey Co., the telescope sits in it’s original spot just east of San Jose and is still operating to this day. 

We recently visited the observatory and talked with Steve Vogt, an astronomy professor at UC Santa Cruz, who used to sneak into the observatory as a kid.

JEN TONG is coming to TCAF!

Jen Tong’s world is one that takes the old addage “If life gives you lemons—” and stops for a few years to imagine what might that look like, how these lemons present themselves, whether life gave them to us, or us to them. More fantastical ponderings await the reader of one of her many hand screen-printed and bound minicomics, plenty of which will be available to grab at this year’s TCAF!
