Astronomy Night at SPA
All 6th grade science classes, including parents, are invited to attend an evening under the stars Friday, September 6, from 8:00 to 9:00 PM in the parking lot near SW corner of campus.
We plan to have 3 telescopes set up to view the first quarter moon, Jupiter and Saturn; weather permitting. You are welcome to bring binoculars. If weather is overly cloudy event will be cancelled.
Some things to consider:
All 6th grade science classes, including parents, are invited to attend an evening under the stars Friday, September 6, from 8:00 to 9:00 PM in the parking lot near SW corner of campus.
We plan to have 3 telescopes set up to view the first quarter moon, Jupiter and Saturn; weather permitting. You are welcome to bring binoculars. If weather is overly cloudy event will be cancelled.
Some things to consider:
- When pulling into parking lot, drive with caution and try to avoid shining headlights toward telescope area. There will be many students walking about and outside lights will be turned off.
- A flash light with red cellophane covering, or a dim red light is preferred.
- When viewing, please try to avoid bumping telescope with hands. Gently approach eyepiece, and look briefly at each setup; consider the people behind you waiting their turn.
- There will be a sign-in sheet on clipboard to take attendance.
- Visit the Griffith Observatory Sky Report to get idea of what’s visible this week:
- http://griffithobservatory.org/sky/skyreport.html
- Please no running or horseplay, the equipment is expensive and sensitive, and difficult to realign.
- Please keep noise to a minimum; listen to instructors and STEM Club members. You may just learn something.
