洛杉矶格里菲思天文台象征着太空所激发的想象力和创造力。
格里菲思天文台（Griffith Observatory）坐落在地标性的好莱坞（Hollywood）标志牌的旁边，很多部影片都曾在这里取景，其中包括《无因的反抗》（Rebel Without a Cause）和《终结者》（The Terminator）。天文台内以在最早的《星际迷航》（Star Trek）电视连续剧中史波克（Spock）的扮演者命名的莱昂纳德•尼莫伊地平线影院（The Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater）于2006年建成开放。
9月21日，大约1,000人聚集在天文台前面的草坪上观看航天飞机“奋进号”（Endeavour）从洛杉矶市上空飞过。一架波音747飞机运载“奋进号”飞过城市上空，成为“奋进号”退役并被博物馆长期收藏之前的最后一次“飞行”。
洛杉矶人和各地访客纷纷来到格里菲思天文台观看这个场面，因为这象征着太空所激发的想象力和创造力。天文台内设有一座天文馆以及一系列科学及天文展览。

Los Angeles’ Griffith Observatory Looks to the Stars

The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles represents the imagination and ingenuity that space inspires.
Located next to the emblematic Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory has been a set in many movies including Rebel Without a Cause and The Terminator. The Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater, named for the actor who played Spock in the original Star Trek television series, opened at the observatory in 2006.
On September 21, an estimated 1,000 people gathered on the observatory's front lawn to watch the space shuttle Endeavour fly over the city. Endeavour soared above the city riding a Boeing 747 jet in one last “flight” before it entered permanent retirement in a museum.
Angelinos and visitors flocked to Griffith Observatory for the occasion because it symbolizes the imagination and ingenuity that space inspires. The observatory houses a planetarium and an array of science and space exhibits.
