In other news, went out to the Griffith Park Satellite Observatory (no, they don't observe satellites, that's where they've put the temporary observatory stuff whilst the main facility is being overhauled: which is going to take until 2005). No large telescopes, alas (I miss the big one up at the main site), but they had some smaller ones out in the parkinglot for folks to look at Mars with. Stood in line for an hour and a half to look at Mars as a thumbtack head with a bright dot on one side, gray marks in the middle, and lighter color on the edges, sort of a yellow orange in color. Worth it too. :-> Then I went home, got out my binoculars and looked up.
