Thanks to Frank Garner, Marie Lott and Theo Ramakers for participating in the Chapter’s outeach to the above school. The noon event was great, except that clouds kept obscuring the sky, but the students learned some about the relative sizes and distances in the Solar System. At night, each student created a mini-solar system showing the orbits of each planet. They took a trip through the solar system and did visit some planets and some of the moons. At the Field they all saw Saturn and a few of its moons, Mars and Venus as well as some far way galaxies and the complex star Mizar. Click here for some of the pictures.
Clear Skies,
Theo Ramakers
