Future Astronomers

March 13 - James and I went to West Park Place school to do a star
party for the 4th grade classes.  James borrowed 4 portable Celestron
telescopes from the University.  The night was pretty clear and
quite warm. Jupiter, Venus and Mars were all easy to find.  There
were about 30 kids (plus quite a few parents:) there.  They all
had a great time looking through the telescopes.  Everyone loved
Jupiter with its moons, and you could see the polar cap on Mars.
