National Astronomy Day

Today’s Photo:  National Astronomy Day

Saturday April 28 was national astronomy day this year.  I was fortunate enough to take the kids to the Tellus Museum.  We knew there were events all day long including getting to look through the large telescope located at the observatory on the grounds of the museum.  All I can say is, OH WOW!  We waited in the line to get to the observatory and finally made it to the top.  It was our turn and there was no mistaking when the kids first saw Saturn through the eye piece.  What an impressive event and time.  Thank you Tellus for putting on such a great program.  I left the camera in the car so that I could spend some quality time with the family.  We got done just as they closed, but I was able to get back with the camera for a couple shots of the observatory.  I got this one with the moon.
