Cosmic Colors

The fifth graders from Smithsburg came to the planetarium today for the program, Cosmic Colors.  They found and identified some of the different colored stars in the sky and then learned about the electromagnetic spectrum.  They learned why the sky is blue and why those stars they found in the sky are different colors.  Here are a few pictures 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 Astronomer of the Day!
