A Field Trip!


The Telescope!

The Telescope House!


Percival Lowell's final Resting Spot, Next to his Telescope!


Mr. Lowell's Library, when he was alive!

We went to Lowell's Observatory. We got to see the really large telescope! A few fun facts about it. One of the lens is covered with a frying pan. The other one was the roof moves on 1956 Chevy Truck tires! Way to cool! The kids had fun and more importantly they learned a lot. Hannah learned we live on Earth. Jarod knows that Comets are not rocks, but melting ice. Sarah learned that the Asteroid Belt is nothing like they showed in Star Wars. In truth Han Solo could have flown through easily! You just have to love what they do pick up from some guy talking to them!
