Heard Mixon ES outreach 2015-10-01

This time we went to Heard Mixon to try to give the students a better understanding of astronomical concepts, mainly related to our Solar System.  The students loved the program as always, and among many other things they learned about why we see Saturn’s rings sometimes very big, and sometimes very small, why we see the different colored belts on Jupiter and where the  moons from Mars might have come from.  As always, a great school with great teachers.
