The fourth graders from Smithsburg Elementary came to the planetarium this week to learn about the constellations and the stories behind them with the program Star Stories. The students did a wonderful job of acting out the different parts of the stories and were able to locate and identify the Big Dipper, the Pointer Stars, the North Star and the Milky Way Galaxy. Here are a few pictures from their visit!
