Home School Day @ Stone Mountain Park 2013-09-27

27 September, 2013 (20:22) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Many thanks to Marie Lott, Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers to let around 800 parents and home school students learn how a telscope works by looking at the top of the mountain through our “Scope on a Stick”, take a look at the sun in H-alpha and white Light and learn what they saw, let them experience the relative sizes of Earth and the Sun and look through a scope to see how far earth is away from the Sun in this model. These were a few of the things the guests learned when they came though our stand at the side of the 4D theater. A total of 8 scopes to handle the crowd. And best of all, what we showed was really appreciated by all who stopped by. Thanks also to Steve Siedentop who planned to be there, but had to pass because of car trouble. Another great event.
