Heard Mixon Elem. Astronomy 2014-10-13

13 October, 2014 (14:01) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Monday it went to Heard Mixon Elementary and because it was cloudy, we focussed on inside astronomy and took the students on a trip through the Solar System. They learned about gravity at different places in space and how Saturn appears to loose its rings twice when observed from Earth in its orbit going around the Sun. They learned about the different color of the belts on Jupiter as well as some features on Mars and how small and close to Mars the Marsian moons are. A great group of students with some very fine teachers! Click the image to go to the gallery of this event.
