So Kaleb came home from school really excited about this "starlab" that his school was having and we just HAD to go! So we went on Tuesday night(me not having a clue what I was getting into) and had a BLAST!
This starlab is a big dome blow up (kinda like a fun house)that you have to crawl to get into (having just come from work, I was in a skirt!) but once inside you sit around the edges of this dome and then the person in charge of it all turns off the ligts and turns on this machine.. and instantly we are sitting under a dark night sky being able to see all the stars! It was fantastic! It was like being at the planetarium only much closer to home and much cheaper!
We learned about the stars and the constellations, the moon and the center of the Milky Way. It was a lot of fun, and I recommend anyone go to it if they hear of it being a their kids school.
Here are some of the pix from that night.
This is the actual bubble!
