“Looking for a memorable way to spend a summer afternoon? Our friends at Mount Wilson Observatory are offering a movie experience unlike any other.
On Saturday, July 18, guests are invited to enjoy a special screening of The Right Stuff, the Academy Award-winning film that tells the story of America’s earliest astronauts and the beginning of the U.S. space program. There’s no better place to watch this inspiring classic than at one of the world’s most historic observatories, where groundbreaking discoveries have shaped our understanding of the universe.
The experience begins before the movie starts. Arrive early to stroll through the Observatory’s beautiful grounds, take in sweeping mountain views, and grab refreshments at the Cosmic Café. Then settle into the Observatory’s historic auditorium for an unforgettable screening in a setting that celebrates the spirit of exploration and scientific discovery.
Whether you’re a film enthusiast, a space lover, or simply looking for a unique outing with family or friends, this special matinee promises an afternoon to remember.
