Summer Solstice at Griffith Observatory
2027-06-21 12:00 - 13:15 | Griffith Observatory, 2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
JUNE 21st- Live Broadcast
Summer Solstice at Griffith Observatory marks the start of summer in the northern hemisphere with a live online talk! Observatory staff will discuss the meaning of local noon, show how the Sun’s changing path across the sky causes seasonal changes, and determine where the Sun sets on the western horizon.

Seasons

Summer begins in Earth’s northern hemisphere at 2:14 a.m., PDT, today. Winter begins in the southern hemisphere at the same time. The June/summer solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its maximum declination (23.5 degrees). This is when Earth’s northern hemisphere is tilted as far toward the Sun as possible during a given year.

What Is Summer?

From the summer solstice until the start of autumn – the autumnal equinox in September – days will get shorter, and the noon elevation of the Sun will decrease. This happens because the Earth’s axis is tilted 23½ degrees to its orbit. June 21 is the longest day of the year.

Explore the Exterior Exhibits
The grounds of the Observatory present compelling opportunities to observe the movement of the Sun and Moon and to walk a scale model of the solar system. Looming over the lawn is a monumental sculpture celebrating astronomers who gradually revealed the nature of the universe. The terraces offer vistas of Los Angeles, Griffith Park, Mt. Wilson, the Pacific Ocean, and, of course, the famous Hollywood Sign.
Astronomers Monument & Sundial
Greeting visitors upon their arrival at Griffith Observatory, the Astronomers Monument is a large outdoor concrete sculpture on the front lawn that pays homage to six of the greatest astronomers of all time.

Solar System Lawn Model
Engraved on the front sidewalk of Griffith Observatory is a scale model of our solar system. One-quarter-inch-wide bronze lines mark the orbits of the planets, which are indicated with bronze plaques also embedded in the sidewalks.

Sunset & Moonset Radial Lines
Seven stone and bronze lines embedded in the lower West Observation Terrace radiate out from the building toward the western horizon. Each line points toward a notable sunset or moonset position on the horizon.

The Gottlieb Transit Corridor

The new Robert J. and Suzanne Gottlieb Transit Corridor, a monumental 150-foot-long, 10-foot-wide glass-walled passageway, immerses visitors in the motions of the Sun, Moon, and stars across the sky and demonstrates how these motions are linked with time and the calendar.

Roof & Terraces

Griffith Observatory’s roof and terraces give visitors a chance to observe the panorama of Los Angeles. Connected by the Observatory’s lawn and sidewalks, the terraces provide vantage points facing in every direction.

Rebel Without a Cause Monument

Although hundreds of films, television shows, and commercials have used the picturesque surroundings of Griffith Observatory, none have featured the building more prominently or brought as much international attention as the Warner Brothers production of Rebel Without a Cause in 1955.

2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Griffith Observatory is Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Visitors may look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign.

The Observatory is a free-admission, public facility owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks in the middle of an urban metropolis of ten million people. The 67,000 square-foot building is one of the most popular informal education facilities in the United States and the most-visited public observatory in the world with 1.6 million visitors a year. Griffith Observatory is a unique hybrid of public observatory, planetarium, and exhibition space.

PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2027-06-25 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Fame, identity, Corvettes — Angelyne, the self-proclaimed Rorschach test in pink, takes over Los Angeles billboards in the mid-1980s as an enigmatic blonde bombshell, ushering in the era of famous-for-being-famous influencer culture.
Starring Emmy Rossum, Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2027-07-05 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.
