ASTRONOMY Merit Badge

The boys will be earning this merit badge on SATURDAY, November 2, 2013.  Please meet at 8:30 am at Mark Palmer's home.  They will be home around 12:30 for lunch.

What a Successful activity!!  The boys (and leaders) were able to learn new things about the stars and constellations - Can they explain to you what an ASTERISM is (an example is the Big Dipper)?  I didn't before this class!

We learned about telescopes, eclipses, before watching the night skies fly through time in the Dome theater.  We accomplished in two hours what would have taken weeks with out this great technology!
