EVENTS FOR OUR BIOLOGY CLASS: Star Seeing Report
When I arrived I did not know where to go, but then I saw E and she told me that the group had not arrived yet, about 10 minutes later a man came. We expected the man to be one of the professors but he was just a student. The professor never came but that did not matter we still saw the planets. While the student was setting up the telescope he gave us a calendar and it showed us what stars we could see in that period of time. A few more people came and the telescope was ready to be used. I didn’t get to see it very clearly because the stars kept on moving, and the people who were before me moved the telescope from its original position. We saw Saturn and Mars, after that we took our pictures said goodbye and headed home.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR EFFORT¡¡
