UFOs and trashy magazines
UFOs and trashy magazinesI did a couple different versions of this. I mean, who doesn’t like to do outer space or smart alien cartoons? And messages from the galaxy? This might be my favorite, though.
No, I don’t read People. No, I don’t like people. But I do like aliens. Go below the fold to read about our local astronomy highlight: The Griffith Observatory.
FYI, as I was cleaning this up, today, 60 Minutes talked about the proof of aliens. 🙂
The Griffith Observatory jewelry show is out of this world
Los Angeles is very lucky to have the Griffith Observatory in easy access – just a few blocks from our equally fascinating Hollywood sign and the stars! The Observatory is located in Griffith Park, and I can just see the Observatory if I crane my head out the window a bit. (EDIT: I used to, before I was evicted.)
Parking and the main building is free at the Observatory, and in Los Angeles, that means tons of crowds, and attracts people who expect free. They had problems with gangs for a while, but haven’t heard that recently; it’s more extended families who camp out there for the whole evening and take up all the parking. Sigh.
Anyway, it’s a great place, and I wish I had the courage to go more often. I love trying to figure out constellations, which planets are in the sky, and all the other cool science they show.
Vintage jewelry for sky searchers
I was lucky, because the Griffith Park Neighborhood Council (which I was a member of at the time) met one time in the Observatory Planetarium building. This was on a Monday, when it’s closed, so there were far less freeloaders, and I was so very pleased. Coming out of the meeting, I could not believe the hall of vintage jewelry I stumbled into. I thought it was heaven.
The most beautiful collection in the world, if you like very old figural jewelry, all stars, and moons, and sky objects, as I do. There were 165 feet of pins, earrings, necklaces, etc! I would kill to own some of them.
