    Urban spelunking: Yerkes Observatory, which will soon reopen to the public

    Every now and again I'm faced with a subject so rich in facts and history and details that I can't imagine I'll ever get it all into the story. Meet the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, on Geneva Lake, Wisconsin

    I was there many times from the early 1970's through the early '90's for tours and "Space and Telescope" viewing event's.

    Many famous scientists, astronomers including Albert Einstein have visited the Observatory since it originally opened up in 1897.
