Campbell Finley, Sunrise Drive Elementary

I WENT TO THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY IN GREENWICH, ENGLAND. IT TOOK 20 MINUTES BY TRAIN FROM LONDON. THIS OBSERVATORY IS THE LOCATION OF THE PRIME MERIDIAN. THE PRIME MERIDIAN SEPARATES THE EASTERN AND WESTERN HEMISPHERES AT 0 DEGREES LONGITUDE. AT THE MUSEUM, THERE IS A LONG GOLD LINE THAT SEPARATES THE WORLD IN HALF. YOU CAN STAND ON THE WEST SIDE AND EAST SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME. I INTERVIEWED MIKE DRYLAND WHO GIVES TOURS. DRYLAND TOLD ME THAT THE PRIME MERIDIAN WAS CREATED IN 1884. HE SAID GREENWICH WAS SELECTED FOR ITS LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE CENTURIES OF NAVIGATION WORK DONE AT THE OBSERVATORY. THIS IS CAMPBELL FINLEY FROM SUNRISE DRIVE ELEMENTARY FOR BEAR ESSENTIAL NEWS.
