This was supposed to be a solar observing event, but clouds changed it into astronomy. 50 Girlscouts in ages up to middle school learned about the Sun, relative distances in the solar System and a little about asteroids. They also learned about telescopes, and looked at our atrificial moon and star and learned what telescopes do to the view of the objects. Some interesting movie clips of coronal mass ejections on the sun closed the program which was much appreciated!! Thanks Frank, Marie and Theo for stepping up despite the clouds and Mrs. Liz Reynolds for asking us to do this.
Clear Skies,
