I think that the field trip to Griffith Observatory was great.When we got to the museum,Mr.Hsiao picked about five team leaders,and my sister and I choose Archie because he seemed like a nice person.After that,we all headed to Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater to watch the film called The Once and Future Griffith Observatory,which is about the Observatory’s history and how it was renovated and expanded in 2002.I enjoyed watching the film.The part that I found funny in the film is that the founder of the Griffith Observatory has Griffith as both his first and last name.The part of the film that I found to be surprising was when the narrator explained and showed how the construction workers were able to find a way to lift the whole Observatory and build a lower level beneath it.After about twenty-five minutes of watching the film,we headed to the “Gunther Depths of Space” section in the lower level of the Observatory.There,we got to see “The Big Picture”,which is the largest astronomical image ever produced.We also got to see how much we would weigh if we were on each of the nine planets.After spending about thirty minutes in there,we headed to “Samuel Oschin Planetarium”,in which we saw the film called “Centered in the Universe”.I really liked this film because the screen is very big and it is above one’s head.When the film started,I felt like I was really there in the sky,galaxy,or the place that the film took us to learn about how the universe was formed.After that,we went to the outside of the Observatory to take some pictures of ourselves.About twenty minutes after that,we went to eat at the “Café at the End of the Universe”.There,my sister ordered strawberry parfait and a packet of assorted cookies.As for myself,I did not order any food because I did not want to waste my money.I had brought some Lindt Lindor Truffles from home,so I ate some of those.My sister also gave me some of her cookies.After spending about forty minutes at the café,my sister and I went and took many pictures of ourselves inside and around the Observatory.My sister and I enjoyed walking inside and around the museum taking many pictures of each other.We liked how it was so pretty to see all the city’s light down the hill.It was like we were in heaven.We had such a great time with each other.Then about 8 PM,my sister and I decided to go wait at the meeting spot.We then headed to the front lawn of the Observatory.It was so dark there because the light was not turned on.My sister and I could not see who was who around there.About fifteen minutes later,we found our team leader and we followed him to the tour bus.We had to wait on the bus for around thirty minutes because some people were missing from the bus,and then around 9 PM,we left the Griffith Observatory. Overall,I liked this field trip,and I am looking forward to going to more field trips in the near future.
