Man in uniform and cap stands at the telescope on the roof. The text on the sign reads, "The law that governs the solar system is Christianity in the true light Holy City reveals the mystery. Two giant telescopes open for visitors every night." Stairs lead down from the observatory to the road. The Zoo is behind the observatory, with a wild deer pen. The gas station is just to the right. A billboard on the left side reads, "This is the Holy City."
