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. I believe reservations are required.

Tuesday's Smiles ...

Jacki, in my teenage years I also was fascinated by astronomy. Being a young teacher in my second year I visited a planetarium with an older colleague and my students in Vienna.I was so impressed. One thing I learned then was the fact that you sit in the cold outside when observing the stars. That day was a cold winter day and so I got a bit of a reality shock.
Jacki, you so often bring back old memories - thanks for that.
I also loved the note about that monument in Georgia - I hope we never need to follow the instructions - and today's smiles. They are funny and wise.
Stay safe, Jacki.
