Astronomy Night

Tonight was Astronomy Night at Golden View!  Kids had a GREAT time even though we only stayed for 90 minutes.  Bailey went to the A's game today and still had homework and it was WAY past Gregory's bedtime.  Gonna be a long day tomorrow...
Chabot Space & Science Center came and had all sorts of projects set up for the kids.  This one was making a 3D model of Orion

Here they colored the planets

Not sure what they were looking at here ~ kids said they were rainbows

Making spectroscopes.  They also did something with beads to represent all the planets and a constellation viewer.  Oh and a Moon Phase Wheel!  But the coolest thing was in that big blue tent in the background.  They had a planetarium set up and we took a trip to Jupiter and watched the Earth as we floated through space!  Very cool!
