Feed dedicated to Bristlecone Pine Trees and National Parks & Lands where they grow. The oldest living species on planet earth! Feed also includes close relative and also cool Foxtail Pine. Use: Bristlecone Pine, Foxtail Pine, Great Basin National Park or Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Tree rings from long-lived bristlecone pines show that heat and drought don’t always go together in the Rocky Mountains. Thousands of years of data show that droughts have occurred under cool conditions almost as often as under warm conditions. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/8nrV50ZWmfL

Caltech Astro Dark skies, the Milky Way, and thousands of people exploring the Universe. We had a great weekend at the Great Basin Astronomy Festival, sharing telescopes, science talks, and astronomy with visitors from across the country. Thanks to Great Basin National Park for hosting.
Koen van den Driesche (Waddensky) Ben je weleens in een dark sky park geweest? Op deze plekken kun je genieten van echte duisternis en een fantastische sterrenhemel. In Nederland zijn er twee: De Boschplaat op Terschelling en Lauwersmeer. 📸 NPS #Sterrenkijken #Sterrenhemel #Sterrenkunde

🪶Mallory🪶(the bird one) #37 - Chair "Seat of Suffering" Discovered in an archaeological dig, this prehistoric chair of bristlecone pine appears to have been cultivated and grown rather than carved. Those who sit upon it report hearing the distant wails of loved ones. #weeklymonster

Riding With Robots Since I first read your words, I've never stopped looking for the tree with the lights it in. Sometimes I even find it. Thank you, Annie.
Epsori Fantastic weekend at Great Basin National Park . I provided tours of the telescope and ops area. 12 groups, 180 visitors, and a lecture on Saturday for 22 visitors. Ran ops each night and collected exoplanet data. #astronomy 🔭

Dan Burns I took a selfie with my telescope after things had died down at the Great Basin National Park Astronomy Festival early Sunday morning. I got photo-bombed by the Milky Way! #astrophotography
Dan Burns Great night under the Bortle 1 skies of Great Basin National Park last night. The rangers might go a little overboard with the red lights for the Astronomy Festival, but safety first! Modified Sony Alpha 7 III, Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 lens, 6s exposure at ISO 1600. #astrophotography
Dan Burns Attended a talk by Great Basin Observatory Director Jerry Hilburn and toured the facility. It is the only research observatory in a national park. They offer free online classes for students wanting to learn how to do astronomy research. HS, college, anyone!science.greatbasinobservatory.org
Dan Burns Great night at the Great Basin National Park Astronomy Festival last night. Patchy clouds were annoying, but didn’t prevent us from showing hundreds of people the wonders of the darkest sky in any National Park on the lower 48. The Milky Way was a stunning overhead spectacle! #astrophotography
Dan Burns Had to hike up to almost 11,000 ft on the Wheeler Peak summit trail to find aspen showing fall color. Last night’s star gazing was obscured by clouds. Tonight looks better for the Great Basin National Park Astronomy Festival.
Dan Burns I am driving Highway 50, the Loneliest Road in America, to the Great Basin National Park Astronomy Festival today. A Nevada state trooper stopped me and had me move off the road for an oncoming oversized vehicle. It was as wide as the entire two lane road!

Caltech Astro Last month, we teamed up with Lassen Volcanic National Park for Dark Skies at Lassen, a weekend of stargazing and science! We had great weather, beautiful views, and lots of astronomy throughout the weekend. Join us at Sequoia or Great Basin this weekend for similar events!
