Beautiful and calming, because it’s nice to realize that most places out there don’t know what a democrat is.
Growing up in L.A. Griffith Observatory was one of my favorite places. They actually dug up the front and expanded the museum underground. The whole Northern wall is a blow-up of the Virgo cluster which they call ‘The Big Picture’. Big enough that you can even see the beam of material heated up by a supermassive black hole shooting out into space.
One of the most amazing galaxies known is in the Virgo cluster. One set of stars rotates clockwise around the center and another counter clockwise! That such a thing is even possible is because of the vast distances between the stars.
