Each year, the acclaimed Lick Observatory at the summit of San Jose’s Mount Hamilton hosts a series of musicians and scientists for its Music of the Spheres summer concert series. Besides a live concert, the show features a fascinating astronomy lecture and viewing opportunities through the 36-inch Great Refractor telescope and the 40-inch Nickel Telescope. This year’s theme/topic is “We Are Stardust: The Story of Cosmic Alchemy.” To pair with the theme, the observatory will host acclaimed musician Jimbo Scott and his band, best known for their sonic exploration of Americana, touching upon genres as diverse as bluegrass and soul.
