Since Griffith Park has been in the news a bit, I'd thought I'd like to share my visit to the Observatory two weeks back.
Many movies have this as a key backdrop. My favourite is Disney's The Rocketeer.
In focus from left: Kepler, Galileo and Copernicus, as they guard the Observertory.
A Foucault Pendulum - an instrument that measures the earth's rotation.
A rock from our closest satellite.
There's Alf & Einie doing their thing.
There was a screening of "Centered in the Universe" at the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, a large dome-like 300-seater featuring state-of-the-art projection technology. I was awed by the presentation as it took me through a trip across the universe. (Well, as far as what we've covered at this point in time.) It reminded me of how puny I am, and how mega-ginormous my Creator is!! It certainly brought tears to my eyes to be able to not just realise it, but to be able to physically see it.Like that wasn't enough. I had to witness something even more beautiful! An elderly lady was walking down some steps with her walking stick, and in comes her husband who could barely walk properly... to assist her. Awww... Cheers and blessings to their marriage! ;O)
