Griffith park and the transit of venus

Yesterday we went to Griffith Park to see the transit of Venus, when Venus crosses the sun. The next one is in 105 years! We hiked to the observatory with Lena and Phoebe. We bought special glasses so we could watch the sun without our eyes melting. And when we got to the observatory we looked through some telescopes.

  1. WOW!! What an experience that was. You should have reminded grammy. I forgot all about it and therefore I missed it and it would be a true miracle if I was around for the next one.

    1. We might not have seen it if we were on the east coast because it was so rainy and cloudy.
