Reading this article and the fantastic photos
brought back so many memories.
During high school, I lived with Dad in the tiny house.
We lived less than ten miles from the Observatory.
I remember going there as a young child and being
so fascinated by the Foucault Pendulum.
I could very well be one of the little ones hanging
over the edge, captivated in this older photo.

I seem to remember having to be coaxed away,
as I was certain that this was surely the best of all.

I remember a few high school dates at the Observatory show.
The "SAMUEL OSCHIN PLANETARIUM with its spectacular Zeiss
star projector, digital projection system, state-of-the-art
aluminum dome, comfy reclining seats, enabling a great
view of the show on the big ceiling, sound system, and
theatrical lighting, the 290-seat Oschin Planetarium
theater is the finest planetarium in the world.
Every show is presented by a live, engaging storyteller."
I also remember the "engaged" speaker with a powerful
yet soothing voice that fit the show perfectly. Engaging, yes.

Colonel Griffith J. Griffith left funds in his will to build a
public observatory in Los Angeles because he believed
in the transformative power of observation.
After looking through the research telescope at Mt. Wilson
Griffith said: “If all mankind could look through that
telescope, it would change the world!”
Since opening in 1935, Griffith Observatory has
fulfilled his vision by offering public telescope viewing
through the historic Zeiss telescope, coelostat
(solar telescope), and portable telescopes on the lawn.
A magical place I'd like to revisit.
