Galaxies at 9am. What are galaxies? We’ll begin by examining our own Milky Way in several different ways using different types of light. Then discover how we learned that other spiral nebulae are actually galaxies separate from our own. We’ll see to the edge of the known universe to see the oldest galaxies of all.
The Sky Tonight at 10:15am. See what might be visible in the sky during the time of year we visit your class. As we travel through the constellations, we will discover various nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and planets that one can find with a small telescope or binoculars.
