Mt. Wilson Towercam, above Pasadena in the San Gabriel Mountains
My favorite webcam is the 150-Foot Solar Tower Towercam, located at the Mount Wilson Observatory on Mt. Wilson, just above Pasadena, California in the San Gabriel Mountains. Apparently there was a Minotaur rocket launch tonight from Vandenberg Air Force Base out on Point Conception, California (on the Pacific coastline 140 miles northwest of Los Angeles). It left the spectacular contrail seen below after sunset at 7:34p.m. Details from Spaceflight Now.
