Griffith Observatory celebrates the launch of "80 Years
and Counting" with "Stellar Evolution," produced by 'Friends of
the Observatory,' an event paying tribute to Los Angeles's icon of public astronomy and to
the 40th anniversary of Dr. E.C. Krupp's leadership.
The Los Angeles Landmark will celebrate with a sunset
champagne reception over the Pacific Ocean and
engage the public in voting on one of three themed cakes, each commemorating an
iconic feature of the Griffith Observatory. There will be access to a hosted
bar, which will serve wine, beer, soda and champagne. The evening will also
showcase various brief presentations.
'Stargazer' tickets are $100 per couple, allowing access for
two people on the observatory lawn. Those attending are encouraged to pack a
picnic to enjoy.
