游洛杉矶格里菲思天文台 - Visiting Griffith Observatory

格里菲思天文台主建筑

格里菲思天文台主建筑

洛杉矶格里菲思天文台( Griffith Observatory )位于美国西海岸加里福尼亚的南部,并且是格里菲思公园( Griffith Park )一部分,另外它也是一个免费的展馆。距洛杉矶约 200 公里。

 

那它有多长的历史呢?那要追溯到几十年,在 1935 年格里菲思天文台被建造,然自开馆以来,它在洛杉矶可谓名声显赫,不但是因为它的那独特的建筑和奇特的科学展示厅,而且因为它座落于好莱坞的山顶这独特的位置,有一个宽广的视野,可鸟瞰好莱坞,景色相当壮观。从而吸引了超过五千万游客前往。特别是在傍晚及晚上,洛杉矶葛瑞菲斯天文台的精致像一幅油画,描绘着整个洛杉矶和好莱坞,并不断的散发着它的独特魅力。难怪曾有多部电影在这里取景,例如,英年早逝的 詹姆士狄恩,他演绎的《养子不教谁之过 (Rebel Without a Cause) 》就曾在此出外景。

另外,从格里菲思天文台整个建筑来看,它是以白色为基调,加上三个黑色的圆顶。该建筑由法伊弗合作建筑事务所( Pfeiffer Partners Architects) 设计,并且在美国建筑师协会 AIA2008 建筑获荣誉奖第三名。在其中一个圆顶内有一座加州最大的 12 吋巨型天文望远镜 (12 Inch Telescope) ,冬季时除周一外,每天上午 7:00 ~ 晚上 9:45 ;夏日每日傍晚至晚上 9:45 ,开放给民众免费探索宇宙的奥秘。当然,这个主天文望远镜会有众多的游客排队等待,为这一幕。所以,为了那些不耐烦等待的人,一到晚上,工作人员在草坪上临时设置了 2 个望远镜,当然这没有办法和主天文望远镜相比,但至少可以一饱眼福。

格里菲思天文台建筑的 正前方有一个石柱,在宽广的草坪上,它显得格外的耀眼,当你走进近看,你将会看到这石柱的各个方向都雕有不同时期著名的天文科学家。在诉说着天文发展的历史,在石柱的旁边有一个铜制的测量时间的仪器,让人感叹人类的智慧的伟大。顺着这石柱走向 天文台建筑方向 ,将看到地面上画有太阳系的示意图。

格里菲思天文台馆内,陈列着许多天文物理的知识及图片,并且用实物或模型来表现这个宇宙的变化,从而让人去了解地球自转,地心引力对季节等等的一些影响。有时还伴有一些亲身体验的实验,让那些不了解天文知道的人,更加了解宇宙运作的原理。

除了这些,如果你想更加形象的去了解这个太阳系的变化,那你可以买票(记住学生证可以打折)进入太空剧场( Show )。在那里有一个巨大的行星仪,它是一种巨型的投影设备,用 3 维立体的图面,伴随着讲解员和音乐,来描述真个银河系的变化,让人感觉进入了银河系。
