The Foucault pendulum. The man in the picture on the wall is Griffith J. Griffith (yes, same first & last name) for whom the Observatory is named after. He was a rich man from the late 1800s that donated a bunch of land that became Griffith Park. He also once saw through a 12 inch telescope and said that the world would change if all of humanity could see through one, hence the observatory was made. Griffith Observatory has had more visitors than any other in the world. The ceiling above the Foucault pendulum. If you look closely, there's a dark rectangle at the bottom of the sun that is the original condition of the painting before the observatory's restoration. Pretty view of downtown L.A. at night with the planetarium portion of the observatory on the left. One more arm's length pic of ourselves, out front of the observatory.
