it's still early!
As a guide, simahong had already prepared.
In the car and in the wechat group of his mobile phone, he sent a voice message: "Dong Zhao, we still have time next, or go to the Griffith Observatory!"
"You are the guide, you has the final say!" Zhao Feng replied directly.
Sima Hong replied, "no problem!"
Griffith Observatory, as a rich man yearning for the sea of stars, Zhao Feng has also heard of it!
This Observatory is a very famous Observatory in the astronomical field. It is located on the mountain northwest of the center of Los Angeles City in the United States, opposite Hollywood Hollywood Hills.
This location happens to be the northeast of Santa Monica mountain, so it's not far away!
It is one of the world's famous observatories and is open to the public free of charge, including various exhibition rooms and a film screening room. However, the largest celestial performance venue is free, with 8-10 performances per day.
This is not an unacceptable thing. After all, free opening is more humanized, and normal maintenance also needs some fees!
The crowd quickly arrived near the observatory by car!
Find a place to park the car!
The party got off and looked in the direction pointed by simahong!
I saw a very holy building on the ground in the distance.
The architectural style is vaguely Roman?
Sima Hong looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "next, let me introduce you!"
So they listened to simahong's explanation as they walked!
This Observatory is an observatory with a history of nearly 100 years.
Its origin is also very meaningful!
As early as 1882, the Welsh immigration and real estate Baron Griffith acquired the remaining part of the land sold by Spain, Rancho losfelis (named after its former owner, not today's felis).
In 1896, Baron Griffith donated 3015 hectares to Los Angeles to build a large park for the public. This is the Griffith Park, which is known as the urban wildlife park today.
The inspiration of Griffith Park comes from a visitor who visited the newly-built Observatory in Mt. Wilson in 1904 and decided to donate an additional US $100000 to the city to build an observatory in Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park. The observatory will be owned and operated by the city of Los Angeles to open people's wisdom and educate the public.
Unfortunately, the sponsor of the building died 16 years before the building was completed. But in the end, the observatory named after it was opened to the public in May 1935. The Griffith Observatory can be completed with high-quality materials and a large number of works of art, thanks to low prices in the economic downturn and the help of a federal public project plan.
Zhao Feng is not very interested in the back!
Sima Hong gave a brief introduction and looked at Zhao Feng. He didn't seem to care much, so he didn't say much!
In fact, Zhao Feng also thinks that the people who were able to donate US $100000 to build this Observatory for the public are really worthy of admiration!
In front of this Observatory, there is a large dome above it. This part looks very similar to many observatories!
Zhao Feng took a look and walked into the observatory with simahong!
There are several exhibition halls inside the observatory to display different contents!
In the exhibition hall visited by the people, the basic astronomical knowledge is displayed, in which the demonstration shows the astronomical geography, from the geocentric to the heliocentric theory, and the evolution of celestial bodies is very detailed. But the most interesting part is the latter part. It is said that this lie down uses photoelectric three-dimensional technology to make the audience feel floating into the sky, which is a bit like watching the scenery of California in a flying chair in Disneyland.
They simply felt it, then took photos as a souvenir, and came to the next exhibition hall!
In this exhibition hall, there are not only models of eight planets, but also models of the relative motion relationship between the sun, the earth and the moon. The 1:1 bronze statue of Einstein in the lower exhibition hall became the idol of teenagers, and they took turns to take pictures with him.
There is a scale for the weight of people on the corresponding planet on the ground. For example, our weight on the moon is only 16 of that on the earth. It's so interesting. The documentary film about the observatory will be shown in the film hall for 23 minutes.
Zhao Feng and his party didn't see the whole film, but the little boy wa Lianjing seemed a little interested in the film!
He seems to like astronomy very much. He and Angelina always smile and seem very happy!
After visiting several exhibition halls, people can finally experience the telescope in the observatory!
The entire Griffith Observatory is equipped with four fixed telescopes.
Through the Zeiss telescope equipped with a 12 inch mirror, you can see the unique landscape in the night sky.
Of course, you can also climb up the dome in the east to enjoy the moon or the planets in the night sky more closely.
Or you can view these images through a telescope installed on an exhibition in the hall of the eye.
After these people experience one by one!
They are interested in several other telescopes!
Among the remaining telescopes, three solar telescopes are installed in the circular hall in the West. One of them is used to observe the sun; The other one passes through an H- α (alpha) filter to observe the stars (solar monochromatic light observation mirror); the third shows the solar spectrum.
What's it like to look at the sun with a telescope?
Zhao Feng finally felt it today!
At ordinary times, Zhao Feng feels that he looks at the sun with his eyes. The sun is very dazzling. In a few seconds, his eyes begin to cry wildly, completely out of control!
But now it's different with this telescope!
In the telescope, the image of the sun appears closer and clearer!
But the dazzling light of the sun seems to disappear!
For a time, Zhao Feng felt that the sun seemed closer than when he looked at the sun with the naked eye! Vaguely, Zhao Feng wanted to feel the heat from the burning sun!
So Zhao Feng quickly gave way to this position!
As soon as Zhao Feng got out of the way, ye xiner came together!
After everyone has experienced it!
Time has come around 5 p.m!
This time is not too late, and Zhao Feng specially asked simahong!
Simahong also recommended a very special store!
That's the bazaar restaurant!
This restaurant is the top restaurant in Los Angeles's famous molecular cuisine. If Zhao Feng wants to try it, this restaurant must not be missed!
With a choice, Zhao Feng made an appointment with his mobile phone and reported his Centurion black gold card number!
After making a successful appointment, people didn't have the idea to play again!
The sky has caught a layer of dusk!
It's still early now. After consulting everyone's opinions, Zhao Feng directly returned to the villa and was ready to change some clothes!
