A great event today at East Newton Elementary. 85 fourth grade students learned a little more about the solar system and space weather. They took a closeup look at Mars and its topography and learned what happens if the gravity on a marsian moon is very small. They also learned the different phases of a rocket launch and how NASA lands a mobil laboratory on Mars. Last but not least they took a look at the sun through an H-alpha scope and a white light scope and saw a beautiful prominence and sunspots. Click the picture to look at the gallery
