Thunder & lightning let us know that viewing the Moon was not going to happen at the Girl Scout Adventurer Badge event. We were able to give a presentation on the Moon and its phases as well as information on constellations. We showed the formal constellations based for the most part on Greek & Roman mythology. And since most ancient cultures had their own stories and patterns in the sky, we also discussed several Native American, Arabic and Indigenous Australian constellations using a software planetarium program.
We had a group of about 20 energetic scouts. This led to a a lively question and answer session that continued until our time was up. The scouts also received NWFAA star gaze schedules, March sky maps and 2019 Astronomy calendars.
