That's pretty cool.

I must have either misread or misremembered the placard on the display.

Plus it’s Hollywood history, Terminator, Rocketeer, an episode of ST Voyager among others have used it as a location.

Official Site: Griffith Observatory Los Angeles, CA

Museum and Observatory are closed on Monday.
Another great spot. Stroll among the Oscar ghosts of Griffith Park. James Dean, Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood memorialized this icon on the set of Rebel Without a Cause in '55. All three were destined for a real life, tragic final scene. Swing by Pink's on La Brea after & stand in line for a chili dog not too far from the Walk of Fame. Guaranteed you'll find something amusing to discuss on the ride home.

Extra credit if you can ID the future Easy Rider.
