The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles
The centre dome houses the Samuel Oschin planetarium, one of the most advanced in the world, and other attractions include a working giant Tesla coil that can generate 10-foot long sparks, a Foucault pendulum, and the largest astronomical photograph on display anywhere in the world at 152 feet long.
The spectacular view of Los Angeles from Griffith Observatory has been used as a backdrop in dozens of movies
