Griffith Observatory

We went to the Griffith Observatory with the youth from church last week. I was so excited, because I'd been waiting for this activity for so long! I love the observatory and hadn't been there for like 15 years. They had remodeled and it was even more amazing, but there just wasn't enough time to see it all! Another leader and I got to see Jupiter and 3 of her moons through the big telescope. It was cool! Jupiter is 13 times the size of our earth, and it has 49 moons, which are all bigger than our moon except for one. Space is massive and so amazing! We don't like Jupiter though because we weigh so much on that planet. That was fun, you could weigh yourself on each planet. We were excited to see that Pluto was still displayed in the planetary alignment even though it's been denounced as a planet, poor thing. Here's me and Einstein. I had to have a picture with him since we share a birthday.
