Griffith Observatory Re-Opens After $93 Million Renovation

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 02: Guests look at Foucault Pendulum, which demonstrates the rotation of the Earth on its axis, inside the Griffith Observatory on the eve of the re-opening on November 2, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. The observatory will be accessible to the public after a $93 million five-year renovation project to restore the weathered exterior, update exhibits, and double its floor space by adding an underground level. The observatory has been a destination for star-gazers, students, and star-crossed lovers, and has appeared in many Hollywood movies since it first opened in 1935. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
