The Charlie Elliott Chapter of the AAC had two events for the 83 students and parents of Royston Elementary School from Franklin County, who came to Charlie Elliott for three days. A solar event at 11:00 A.M and an evening program with an hour presentations in the Shepard Room followed by observing the night sky at the Jon Wood Astronomy field, Despite the steady but transparent layer of clouds at noon, which made the sun hard to see, they enjoyed looking at our nearest star and learning some facts about it. In the evening, Sarah Flynn, Jeff and Kieran Rebitzke, Steve Phillips, Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers showed them Jupiter with its belts and 4 of its moons as well as the crescent Venus, the double star Mizar, M42 and some other nightsky objects. The group was very excited about what they saw “above”.
