Astronomy at the Big History Camp

May 2016, Year 2

HB helped assemble the telescope then waited for it to get dark. During two hours of star gazing HB identified different constellations, saw different coloured stars, double stars, planetary nebula, and a globular star cluster. HB also spotted the international space station and a shooting star.
