a mountain near Pasadena, California with a famous observatory

"Much of our understanding of the Universe came from research done at this facility. Located just outside Pasadena, California, in the San Gabriel Mountains, the Observatory has a heritage of major contributions dating from the beginning of this century, and continues to remain at the forefront of observational astronomy and astrophysics. Meteorological conditions above the Los Angeles Basin provide the best circumstances for astronomical observations on the North American continent."
