A great place to find stars. Another place to look for stars is California's Lick Observatory, named after chocolate entrepreneur James Lick. California's richest person at the time, Lick planned to build the world's largest pyramid in San Francisco, but ultimately left his fortune to good causes. These included the Lick Old Ladies' Home (later renamed), and the observatory, who used their inheritance to build the world's largest telescope (a record held for 8 years).
