On Saturday afternoon, Kenny and I spent five unforgettable hours at the Observatory. Kenny took it all in. He made me a drawing of a rocketship for my birthday – complete with American flag, engines burning at full throttle, on to the planets – Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, along with a collection of asteroids, all in full color crayon.
At the observatory, we took in the spectacular Planetarium show. We watched the Pendulum swing back and forth, inching in a full circle to match the rotation of the Earth. We saw telescopes and models of the planets and the Moon. There were moving replicas of the Solar System and vistas of the city and snow-capped mountains on a crystal clear day.
Click on the photo for a slide show – photos taken with my pocket PDA phone. You can read my musings in a LeaderFOCUS called, of all things, Heliocentrism.
