My latest podcast for the 365 Days of Astronomy podcasts is now available via iTunes and here on the 365 Days of Astronomy site too.You can read George Ellery Hale's 1922 book, The New Heavens, here from Project Gutenberg or here from Google Book Search.
I have also posted a copy of Hale's April 1928 article in Harper's Monthly: The Possibilities of Large Telescopes.
Nice...I really enjoyed the PBS special on Hale and his telescopes last fall. Amazing to think that crowds turned out to see a mirror go by on a train!
