OBSERVATORY, n. A place where astronomers conjecture away the guesses of their predecessors. - Ambrose Bierce
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope. - Henry Ward Beecher
At the W.M. Keck Observatory on the very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea, there was no routine monitoring of mental functioning, blood oxygen levels, blood pressure or heart rate of workers. - Steven Magee
The biggest surprise that I had during my time in high altitude astronomy was being prevented from arranging a free Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) onsite evaluation to assist with bringing the observatory into OSHA compliance by the upper management team that I reported to. - Steven Magee
