Space Telescopes outreach

Posted by Jesse Clark in Chapter Updates on November 22, 2010

SD Space traveled to Chula Vista the evening of November 16th to present “Space Telescopes – Astronomy In Orbit” at an outreach for Boy Scout Troop 853. The presentation was well received and the Scouts and parents had lots of astronomy and space questions. After the presentation, the scouts were able to view the display table, ask more questions and pick up Hubble IMAX posters and pins donated by the RHFleet Science Center.

SD Space collaborated with SDAA members to provided four telescopes for the scouts and their parents to view objects in the night sky, primarily Jupiter and the Moon, before and after the presentation.

SD Space thanks to everyone who helped make this outreach a successful event.
