Do you like learning about space and astronomy? I do. I just learned a ton about space today during my first trip ever to the Griffith Observatory a couple of weeks ago.
Did you know that The Big Bang happened 14 billion years ago? Can you believe my friend Skylar and I weighed 300 pounds on Jupiter together? We were so surprised that we were so heavy. We had so much fun.

We even looked through a telescope and saw the Hollywood sign. I know that the Hollywood sign isn’t as far away as Jupiter, and it isn’t even a planet, but it is still super cool to see. We learned so many new things that my brain was overflowing when it was finally time to leave.
We felt sad. We wanted to come back. So we are going to have to go back again soon.

Do you want to go to the Griffith Observatory but you can’t because you don’t have the time right now? It’s okay. Why don’t you look into the sky tonight and try and find some planets? They are right up there, dancing with the stars.
