The 5th graders from Maugansville came to the planetarium today to participate in the program, Cosmic Colors. The students learned all about the electromagnetic spectrum and the reasons we see a blue sky in the day and different colors of stars at night. They also were able to discern the colors of a mystery cloth as seen under the light of different colored stars based on how that cloth reflected and refracted that light Here are a few photos from their visit.
Astronomers Of The Day
At the end of the visit each teacher chose their Astronomer of the Day. These students exhibited the participation, listening and questioning skills needed to make a great astronomer! Congratulations to our Astronomers of the Day!
