FREE Astronomy Day at Lake Afton Public Observatory

Sharing is caring!

Lake Afton Public ObservatoryWow! The 2012 Astronomy Day at Lake Afton Public Observatory is this Saturday, and admission is FREE. It looks like it will be a whole day of fun followed by an evening of observing the moon and planets through the observatory’s big telescope.

The day’s activities include rocket-building, watching a CO2-powered go-kart rocket around the grounds, using the telescope to safely observe the sun, and getting a look at the observatory’s giant scale model of the solar system. Science teachers, kids, and astronomy aficionados, do not miss it. 🙂 It’s FREE.

Get more information about Astronomy Day 2012 at the Lake Afton Public Observatory website.
