Chris Fassnacht, faculty member at UC-Davis, uses gravitational lenses as tools to study the properties of the Universe and the galaxies within it. His research involves obtaining sharp images of these fascinating objects to learn about dark matter and dark energy.
Lick Observatory is located on 4200' Mt. Hamilton in the Diablo Range, east of San Jose, California. Largest among its nine research-grade telescopes is the Shane 3-meter Reflector, active since 1959. The 3-meter is in operation every clear night of the year, used by many different astronomers from within the UC system for a variety of projects ranging from observations of our solar system to distant galaxies. More information about the observatory, science and education programs can be found at our website.
