White Mountain Middle SchoolMs Galaxy will be teaching the constellations at White Mountain Middle School using the amazing portable planetarium, Star Lab. This portable dome is used across the country to easily bring the tools used in standard planetariums to schools, museums, science centers and other public locations. Ms Galaxy will be teaching five classes in a row, focusing on naked eye identification of constellations and easily visible naked eye objects such as the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy. While closed to the public for this event, a public event will be held later in the month at North Mountain Park in Ashland, Oregon. |
