A nearly full moon and Jupiter overlook the International Fountain located in the heart of the 87 acre Seattle Center grounds. Seattle Center was the location of the 1962 World's Fair. Some 10 million visitors attended the profitable fair. Funds for the preparations came largely from bonds totalling some $15 million. One of the many legacies of the fair includes the buildings and public spaces at the Seattle Center that remain. These include the Space Needle, monorail, auditoriums, an opera house, a performing arts center and civic center. In the middle of the space is a large, open public space with the International fountain as its focal point. Seattle Center is purportedly the fourth largest visitor's center in the US and is considered by many to be the soul of Seattle, with the International Fountain being Seattle's front lawn.
