The Sun over Grayson Elementary at the last day of School

23 May, 2012 (14:42) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Last Wednesday May 23rd, Frank Garner, Jeff Rebitzke and Anthony Edwards did a solar event for the two classes of Mrs Green on the last day of the school year, because their original scheduled date had to be postponed because of bad weather.  I setup my scope also but had to go home because I felt pretty sick.  About 60 students were able to take a look at the Sun and some nice prominences and active regions before they went home for the summer vacation.  Thanks Mrs. Green for staying with us because of scheduling issues for these classes.  Thanks also to the Charlie Elliott Chapter members for coming out and giving these students something great and worthwile to see.
Clear Skies,
