Astronomy Night

While we were in Arizona, my nephew had an activity at his school where they taught about the sky and some constellations, and then let us look through the telescopes. I took this picture of Saturn through a telescope at Astronomy night.
Everyone got a chance to look at some neat stuff, like planets and star clusters. It was really cool to see.







They learned a few things, for example did you know Betelgeuse is translated to mean armpit of the great one (That's the name of the star in Orion's armpit)

The best part was being with cousins.
