Standing prominently above Pasadena, Mount Wilson is a Southern California landmark. It is the location of the Mount Wilson Observatory, which is an important astronomical facility in Southern California with historic 60-inch (1,524 mm) and 100-inch (2,540 mm) aperture telescopes, and     60-foot (18.3 m) and 150-foot (45.7 m) tall solar towers. The newerCHARA array, run by Georgia State University, is also sited there and does important interferometric stellar research.
