Domain Digest No. 8: A Look Back on Snowy Favorites
December 28, 2022
Across the Observatory each year, each Domain deals with its own winter weather. Our staff still venture out to continue collecting data – and also take amazing photos. As 2022 comes to a close, we’re taking a look back to share some of our favorite snowy scenes from across years and across the continent.
