Science night at Palmetto Elementary School was a huge success.  A great group of  students interested in science attended with their parents.  Thanks for Ms. Kristen Lyle for giving her students the opportunity learn more about science in general, but also about astronomy and space exploration.  The time for us was limited because of the early end of the event, but all saw the half phase of Venus and also could take a close look at the belts of  Jupiter with its moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calista being just above the planet.  A few who stayed a little longer were rewarded by seeing the Orion Nebula. Thanks to all the students for attending and showing interest.  Click here or the picture below for some pictures of the event.
