For 90 years, the Griffith Observatory has been a SUPERNOVA in the City of Los Angeles! Since 1935, the Observatory has inspired generations of Angelenos and visitors from across the world (and maybe out of it πŸ‘½) to gaze, ponder, and understand the sky. @griffithobserv.bsky.social

Cybird pointing at the Griffith Observatory through the window of a Gondola.  Sign above the window features a stylized "GG" logo and "Line A," with stops named "Universal City," "Hollywood Sign" "Observ." That connects to "Line B," and "Glendale"

Seeing the historic Griffith Observatory from within one of the Griffith Park Gondolas that connects key parts of Griffith Park and adjacent transit. The gondolas are useful for mountainous, low traffic areas like the park.

10”x10” oil painting of the East Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. You can see the Griffith Observatory off in the distance on this early spring day.

a view of a part of Los Angeles from above. City, trees, blue sky, puffy clouds here and there. In the background are mountains and if zooming in one can see the Griffith Park Observatory.

What I love about this view is that, zooming in, I can see the Griffith Park Observatory, which was the destination or midway point of the hike I used to take most regularly since 2002 (I have yet to go this year).

A hand (mine) reaching out to grab a marble sized thing hanging in an exhibit with a bunch of planets in the background. Marbles, obviously, are not planets.

At @griffithobserv.bsky.social with 300 prospective Caltech students atlnd OMG the Pluto exhibit is precariously close to being snatchable. Might go home with it...
