Malibu resident Kara Knack and California Highway Patrol Lt. Greg Hammond officially opened the Cosmic Connection exhibit on March 20 at the Griffith Observatory. The exhibit is a 165-foot timeline of the 13.7-billion-year history of the universe. Installed in a primary corridor of the expanded area of the building, the timeline is comprised of more than 2,200 pieces of celestial-themed jewelry donatd by Knack, a longtime Friends of the Observatory board member.
