Sciences 9 - Night Sky

Posted: April 5, 2012

Wednesday April 11th - Mr Hayward will be here with telescopes to view the night sky.  He's going to meet us here at 7:00 Wednesday night to set up, (we can use the Music Room), then the presentation to the students will begin at 8:00.  We're going to see 3 planets!!!  Please remind your students to dress warmly and to bring snacks!!!  They should arrive around 7:45 to be settled for the presentation and their rides should be here around 10 because the last planet we'll see is Saturn which will make its debut at around 9:30.  The moon will not be out but Jupiter will be just setting as twilight comes on, Mars will be nice and high in the sky, and Saturn will be the grand finale around 9:30pm (It is spectacular to look at!).
