“Astronomy Night” at Summerour Middle School

12 March, 2011 (10:21) | Outreach | By: tramakers

Together with the Atlanta Astronomy Club we finished another event today for about 250 students and parents at Summerour Middle school in Norcross. Inside presentations made them familiar what goes on in NASA’s control room during the landing of a Mars lander and what these missions try to accomplish and how they do it. Outside they all could take a look at a number of celestial bodies such as the moon, saturn, the Orion nebula, open clusters and some prominent (double) stars. Thanks to Mrs. Marjorie Veasey for inviting us to participate again this year, and Annette and Pierre Michel, Frank Garner, Mark Dove, Michael and Theo for participating and making this a great success.
