Astronomy for “Becoming an Outdoors Woman” group

4 November, 2012 (10:00) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

7 Of us went out to the Jon Wood Field at CE to show the wonders of the night sky to a group of young female adults who participated in the program “Becoming an Outdoors Woman” (BOW) at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center. It was a great night with clear skies, and the ladies learned how to find North at night, they saw our milky way streching accross the sky and took some closer looks at star clusters, planetary nebulae, double stars, a galaxy, and yes, Jupiter with four of its moons while Europa came from behind the planet. Thanks to everyone who came out for this event.
