East Newton Elem. Outreach 2014-09-18

19 September, 2014 (09:20) | Astronomy, Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

We went to East Newton Elementary and because of the clouds we started with inside presentations. We took them on a trip through the Solar System while discussing how astronauts would be effected by the gravity of other planets e.g. Mars and some of their moons or asteroids. Than they went on to hunt for asteroids and learned about the properties of Meteorites. When we finshed the Sun came out, and we routed all classes again to let the Students take a look at the Sun through our solar scopes. A great event and they will be back on Saturday evening to look through our telescopes at the night sky.
Thanks Frank and Theo for giving these students a great time.
