<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="2">Went to the observatory last night for the first time.   It's a quirky little building, which has been there for about 100 years.   It's very near the 210 bus stop by Whitestone Pond.   It's quite fun, saw Jupiter and the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; ">four Galilean moons.    I think there are long queues if there's a comet or an eclipse or something, but not too bad when there's less going on in the cosmos.</span></font>
