Our first event in support of the Freeport library home school event was great fun. Dennis & Marietta Hausch and Tom Haugh were able to support this daytime star gaze. Tom started the ball rolling with the club’s Our Star: A User’s Manual presentation. He included additional information about NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission that is currently under way.
The 29 students, associated siblings and parents then adjourned outside to view the Sun through Dennis’ white light filtered telescope and Tom’s Hydrogen-Alpha telescope. Once again the Sun was not providing anything exciting to view as it was totally devoid of any visible activity.
We would like to thank the Freeport library for the invitation to come over and share our passion for Astronomy with their home school group.
