We went to Heard Mixon today for outreach. Inside we took the students on a trip through the solar system and discussed how gravity varies at different panets/moons. They learned how we study Mars, and how we got the Curiosity laboratory to Mars.  They also hunted for asteroids. Outside they looked at the sun with some beautiful prominences and filaments and learned how vast the Solar system is and how small we are at Earth. A great group of Students and Teachers!!!
