Middle Ridge Elementary 2014-11-20

Middle Ridge Elementary had their “Night under the Stars”. They were lucky as the weather gave a break in the icy cold snap that plagued us the last few days. We had 4 scopes at the ball field including the one of Chad Foster the organizing teacher of the school. Students and parents saw a variety of celestial objects such as Mars, the Ring Nebula, the Double Cluster, Alberio, the Pleades, the Andromeda Galaxy, and a globular cluster M15 and other like objects. A great evening for those that came out in the cold to learn more about “what’s up there” and those that showed it.
