The Night Sky for Brownie Troop 4009

11 November, 2011 (23:25) | Outreach | By: tramakers

We went to the Park at Emory Grove to show two Brownie troops the night sky. We were limited by the tree line and the light polution. The girls learned the different types of telescopes, about some constellations and how to find the North Star Polaris and got to look at Jupiter with three moons visible, but had to look at the moon as it made its way through the trees. Light polution made it not possible to see the Andromeda Galaxy or some planetary nebulas. However, they came away with knowing a lot more than before. Sorry left the camera in the truck, so no pictures this time.
