It's still early!

As a guide, Sima Hong had already prepared.

He was in the car and in the WeChat group on his mobile phone, and sent a voice message: "Dr. Zhao, we still have time next, why don't we go to the Griffith Observatory!"

"You are the guide, you have the final say!" Zhao Feng replied directly.

Sima Hong replied: "No problem!"

As a rich man who yearns for the stars and seas, Zhao Feng has also heard of it!

This observatory is a very famous observatory in the astronomical world. It is located on a mountain northwest of the center of Los Angeles, the United States, and is far away from Hollywood Hills.

This location happens to be northeast of Santa Monica Mountain, so the distance is not far!

It is one of the world's famous observatories and is open to the public for free, including various exhibition rooms and a movie screening room. However, the largest celestial performance venue is charged and is held at 8-10 shows a day.

This is not an unacceptable thing. After all, it is more user-friendly to open it for free, and normal maintenance also requires some expenses!

Everyone rushed to the vicinity of the observatory in a car!

After finding a place to park your car!

The group got out of the car and looked in the direction Sima Hong pointed!

I saw a very holy building on the ground in the distance.

Is the architectural style vaguely Roman?

Sima Hong looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Next, I will introduce you to you!"

So everyone walked while listening to Sima Hong’s explanation!

This observatory is an observatory with a history of nearly a hundred years.

Its origin is also very meaningful!

Back in 1882, the Welsh immigration and estate baron Griffith acquired the remaining department of the land sold in Spain, Rancho Los Felis (named after its former owner, not today's Felis).

In 1896, Baron Griffith in turn donated 3,015 hectares to Los Angeles to build a large park for the public. This is the urban wild park that everyone knows today - Griffith Park.

Griffith Park was inspired by a visitor who visited the newly built observatory in Mt. Wilson in 1904 and decided to donate an additional $100,000 to the city to build an observatory in Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park. The observatory will belong to the city of Los Angeles and operate it to open up people's wisdom and educate the public.

Unfortunately, the sponsor of the building died 16 years before the building was completed. But eventually, the observatory named after it was opened to the public in May 1935. The Griffith Observatory was able to be completed with high-quality materials and a large number of works of art, thanks to the low prices during the economic downturn and the help of a federal public project plan.

Zhao Feng is not very interested in the latter part!

After Sima Hong briefly introduced it, he saw that Zhao Feng didn’t seem to care much, so he didn’t say much!

In fact, Zhao Feng also feels that the person who was able to donate 100,000 US dollars to build this observatory to the public is indeed worthy of admiration!

The observatory in front of you is a large dome above, and this part looks very similar to many observatorys!

Zhao Feng took a look and followed Sima Hong into the observatory!

There are several exhibition halls inside the observatory that display different contents!

The exhibition hall where everyone visited showed relatively basic astronomical knowledge, and the demonstration showed astronomy and geography, from the center of the earth to the heliocentric theory, which told the evolution of celestial bodies in detail. However, the most interesting thing is the latter part. This party is said to use three-dimensional photoelectric technology to make the audience feel floating into the sky, which is a bit like watching the California scenery on a flying chair in Disneyland.

Everyone felt it briefly, then took photos as a souvenir, and came to the next exhibition hall!

This exhibition hall contains models of the eight planets and models of the relative motion relationship between the sun, earth and moon. In the lower exhibition hall, Einstein's full-body bronze statue with a ratio of 1:1 has become the idol of teenagers, and they take turns taking photos with him.

There are scales of the weight of humans on the planet on the ground. For example, our weight on the moon is only 1/6 of that on the earth, which is very interesting. A documentary about this observatory was screened in a cinema, which lasts 23 minutes.

Zhao Feng and his group did not watch the entire video, but the little boy Vulianjing seemed to be a little interested in this movie!

He seemed to like Astronomy very much, and he and Angelina always smiled and seemed very happy!

After visiting several exhibition halls, everyone can finally experience the telescope in the observatory!

The entire Griffith Observatory is equipped with four fixed telescopes.

The unique landscape in the night sky can be seen through the Zeiss telescope equipped with a 12-inch mirror.

Of course, you can also choose to climb the dome to the east and admire the moon or the planets in the night sky closer.

Or you can also browse these images through a telescope installed in an exhibition in the Hall of the Eye.

After all these people experience it one by one!

Everyone became interested in several other telescopes!

Among the remaining telescopes, three solar telescopes were installed in the rotunda to the west. One of them was used to observe the sun; the other was used to observe the starry sky through an H-α (alpha) filter (sun monochromatic light observation mirror); the third showed the sun's spectrum.

What does it feel like to see the sun with a telescope?

Zhao Feng finally felt it today!

Usually Zhao Feng feels that when he uses his eyes to look at the sun, the sunlight is very dazzling. After a few seconds, his eyes start to cry wildly, completely out of control!

And now with this telescope, it’s different!

In the telescope, the image of the sun appears closer and clearer!

But the dazzling light of the sun seemed to disappear!

For a moment, Zhao Feng felt that the sun seemed closer to the sun when he looked at the naked eye! Zhao Feng wanted to feel the heat transmitted by the burning of the sun!

So, Zhao Feng hurriedly made way out of this position!

As soon as Zhao Feng made way out, Ye Xiner came over!

After everyone experienced it!

It's about five o'clock in the afternoon!

This time is not too late, and Zhao Feng specifically asked Sima Hong!

Sima Hong also recommended a very special store!

That's The Bazaar Restaurant!

This restaurant is the top restaurant in Los Angeles' famous molecular cuisine. If Zhao Feng wants to try it, this restaurant must not be missed!

Having a choice, Zhao Feng made an appointment with his mobile phone to make an appointment at this restaurant, and by the way, he reported his Centurion Black Gold Card Number!

After making a successful appointment, everyone no longer had the intention to continue playing!

The sky has dyed a layer of dusk!
Chapter completed!
