I have been wanting to do a program of this type for sometime and today seemed to be perfect. I have always viewed our Sun - Earth - Moon system as the entry way to comprehending the universe for the general public. Daytime astronomy at it's best. How about this:
- Safe Solar viewing
- Daytime Lunar explore
- Model Moon phases
- Model Earth's seasonal change
- Poster presentations of Sun and Moon
- Atlas presentation on the Sun
- Recording Earth's spin by the changing Sun and Moon altitudes in the sky.
Free handouts such as posters cd-roms, book marks where dispersed in abundance to the delight of my 36 visitors over a 2 hour time span! Randy and Barbara stopped by with their fabulous tandem bike after a few laps around the Marina to get some daytime astronomy and received an abundance of space science for their time. Randy is a part time teacher and really enjoyed the whole program.
