	Mount Hamilton (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Hamilton is a mountain in California's Diablo Range.
		Mount Hamilton is one of the tallest mountains overlooking the Silicon Valley at 4,213 feet above sea level (and above San Jose); only the nearby peaks of Kepler, 4230-foot Isabel, and 4360-foot Copernicus, are higher, but there is no road access to these peaks.
		Mount Hamilton has its own zip code, 95140; it is generally uninhabited open space with a population in 2000 of only 35.

	California - Mount Hamilton
		The Mt. Hamilton area is home to some of the state's finest oak woodlands, unique sycamore alluvial woodland and other native vegetation, such as cottonwoods and willows.
		With California's population predicted to grow by 50% in the next 25 years, it is essential that the state's unique land and water resources be protected for the sake of our current plant, animal, and human residents as well as for future generations.
		The Conservancy inaugurated the Mount Hamilton Project in July 1998, when it made the largest single conservation purchase in northern California history, acquiring two large ranches of 61,000 acres located in the foothills east of Mount Hamilton.

		The Crossley was moved to Mount Hamilton from England before 1895, and its "new" mounting dates to 1919.

		MOUNT HAMILTON, California (CNN) -- As enrollment dwindles at a century-old school in Mount Hamilton, California, its only teacher is struggling to preserve an American tradition -- the one-room schoolhouse.
		Pat Graham fears her tiny public school will be the latest victim of a policy rooted in the 1950s, when school districts started consolidating into larger buildings and used buses to transport students who lived beyond walking distance.
		Enrollment at Mount Hamilton Elementary School stood at seven this school year.

		One such seismoscope was among the seismographic equipment at Mount Hamilton, California, at the time of the California earthquake of April 18, 1906.

	Mineralogical Record: Pseudomorphic melanophlogites from California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Although melanophlogite is considered to have a cubic structure, studies of material from two localities (Chvaletice, E. Bohemia, Czech Republic and Mount Hamilton, California) have shown the presence of a tetragonal superstructure (Zak, 1975).
		Zak (1972) has shown by optical and single-crystal X-ray studies that cubes of the Chvaletice melanophlogite are composed of six pyramids, whose apices meet at the center of the cube; the pyramid bases constitute the cube faces.
		The several California occurrences of chalcedony pseudomorphs after melanophlogite (described here) would strongly suggest that the number and type of stabilizing guest molecules were critical to the mineral's structural stability.

	National Park Service: Astronomy and Astrophysics (Lick Crossley 36-inch Reflector)
		These changes in the mounting of the telescope were necessary to compensate for the difference in latitude between Common's observatory in England and Mount Hamilton.
		The major problem was the insufficiently rigid mounting, which failed to hold the telescope steady in high winds and flexed excessively at large zenith distances.
		Once the Crossley was in operation on Mount Hamiliton, the future path of astronomical research in the 20th century, based on large reflecting telescopes, was determined.

	Quake: 1906 San Francisco Quake
		The first seismographs in the U.S. were installed in 1887, at the Lick Observatory (Mount Hamilton, California) and at the University of California at Berkeley.
		When the 1906 earthquake struck on April 18, nearly all scientists in California began to assemble observations of the earthquake and its effects.
		The detailed surveys described in the Lawson report show that the damage to buildings in the earthquake was strongly related to both the design and construction of the structure and the local geology -- the type of soil or rock on which it was built.

		Earlier this year, astronomers at the Multiple Mirror Telescope atop Mount Hopkins in Arizona for the first time used a laser beacon to guide adjustments of a large telescope's mirrors to compensate for air disturbances.
		Typically, a deformable mirror mounted on an array of pistons must readjust its shape 50 to 150 times a second to keep up with atmospheric fluctuations.
		Max and her collaborators are now building a scaled-down version of their dye laser for use with an adaptive optics system for infrared light at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California.
