I went to the preview of the Griffith Observatory so long ago now and did promise to blog about it with more than just one nice picture, but it did not happen. Partly because I had to go back across the Atlantic to do some work, and then got ill over the weekend I was planning to do it, and then… [...] [...] So I must apologize.

They may evolve toward it in their early life stages, and away from it as they age, but during the core hydrogen-burning phase, they pretty much stay in the same spot on the line. In any case, it's a very cool display and a very cool picture of kids getting into it! Look forward to hearing more about the new Griffith Observatory. a line along which most stars move through their life

Just to quibble… most stars don’t move along the main sequence during their lives. They may evolve toward it in their early life stages, and away from it as they age, but during the core hydrogen-burning phase, they pretty much stay in the same spot on the line.

In any case, it’s a very cool display and a very cool picture of kids getting into it! Look forward to hearing more about the new Griffith Observatory.

I used to know a *lot* more than I do now about astronomy. You just gave me a flashback to reading about the life stages of the stars in a book when I was a kid.

This picture is wonderful, showing the fascination with the heavens, another most ancient trait of our species. thanks I’m a sucker when it comes to pictures of children learning… I don’t know why
