Tom Haugh was invited to present a basic astronomy class at the September edition of “Evening Library Time” at the Crestview Public Library. Since the audience was younger than the normal Astronomy Workshop crowd, he covered basic use of a telescope, how to read a star map and described the different classes of objects that are visible in the telescope.
A future planetary specialist gets a head start.
Tom answers a Pluto question.
Star maps and coloring pages were handed out to the guest astronomers. Tom had to answer several interesting questions. There was also a discussion on the current status of Pluto. Thanks goes out to the Friends of the Library and the scouts for their support and the great astronomy snacks.
