Exhibits: Hall of the Sky
The Hall of the Sky establishes each person's connection to the primary objects in our sky: the Moon and the Sun. The end of the hall is anchored by one of the largest public solar telescopes in the United States.
Coelostat And Solar Telescopes - Griffith Observatory's three solar telescopes bring the Sun directly to visitors in the west rotunda of the Hall of the Sky.
