Stars over the Duluth Library

12 November, 2013 (12:59) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

We received an invitiation to come to the Duluth Library again to let a group of Home Schoolers look at the night sky and do some presentations for them inside the library. 159 Attended the event and students, children and their parents learned a little more about the solar system, how big stars can get, Mars, gravity and why at certain times the rings from Saturn cannot be seen from Earth. Outside Kyle Cavin, Jim Lancaster, Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers let them look at the Moon, Albireo, and the Ring Nebula, and explained what they were looking at. It was very cold, but the kids and parents loved it.
