Stargazing for the “Becoming an Outdoors Woman” event

9 November, 2013 (21:20) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

CEWC asked us for an evening of stargazing for the ladies and teachers who participated in the Becoming an Outdoor Woman event. We planned for a night at the Jon Wood field but the clouds made this impossible, so we had to revert to plan B: inside presentations. The group that stayed for this was very interested in astronomy and enjoyed learning about astroids, meteorites and were very surprised to see how big stars can get. Outside they were able to catch a glimps of the moon through some clouds, but enjoyed the view very much. Thanks to Dominck Giacobbe, Bob Jacoby, Marilyn and John Edwards, Jim Soboleski (welcome back Jim) for setting up their scopes and thans to Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers for doing the presentations. A great event and I am sure that we will see some of these ladies back in our meetings and at the observing field!! :-)
