Dan Schmitt and I went to CEWC yesterday evening to broaden the knowledge of astronomy for the 20 kids that participated in the Summer Camp. Cloudy skies and rain, so we could not observe the sky from the JWF. However for two hours we had them participate in our astronomical activities, and we went on a trip through the Solar System visiting many planets and their moons. They learned a lot and based on their smiley faces they liked the evening session while they made a to scale model f the solar system, learned about how we can escape the gravity of Earth and how we search for asteroids and determine if rocks come out of space or are Earth rocks. A very rewarding evening for us! I forgot my camera, so today no pictures of the event. Thanks Dan for helping out!
