McConnell Middle Outreach 2016-05-05

Bob Jacobi and Theo Ramakers did a full day outreach event for McConnell Middle School in Grayson. The 6th grade classes from Mrs. Sandidge did have a chance to look at the Sun through our Solar scopes and learned about the relative size and distances of the planets in the solar system. Inside the classroom they learned about how the planets really look close up, how the different belts of Jupiter move in relation to each other and what the terrain on Mars really looks like. A great event again this year!
