So, its no secret that I like space... a lot. And I'm pretty sure many of you feel the same way. This said, I really liked this observatory. Having to locate celestial bodies through equipment similar to what Galileo was using was both interesting and... difficult. We know that Christiaan Huygens was the one to discover Saturn's rings. But even the fact that Galileo was able to detect that there was something different about Saturn in the first place is impressive. The amount of time, patience, and careful planning that it must have taken early astronomers to do their work must have been ridiculous. The giant meteorite was great too. Fun fact: It's estimated there's enough raw iron in the asteroid belt to envelope the earth in a 9,000 story building.
Also, as I write this... there's a dude in the lobby wearing nothing but a T-Shirt, and a cooking pot over his penis.
