  2. So What? Why learn about Astronomy? A. Because it’s there and mind numbingly cool! B. The pursuit of knowledge; discovering the unknown. C. Humility: Finding out that we are not the only ones, that life is just one possibility of existence. D. Understanding the connections between everything out there and everything here on Earth. E. We get to play with cool toys like telescopes and laser pointers.  We also get to look at amazingly beautiful objects using those tools.

  3. Stars Doing What They Do E = MC2

  4. What would you see? Imagine looking at a tiny dark piece of the sky where you can’t see any stars or anything else; it’s just dark. The piece of the sky you are looking at is about the size of a dime held 75 feet away. Now imagine using a camera to take a picture of that tiny piece of dark sky. You can take a really long exposure that lasts about 10 days. Don’t worry about the Sun or the rotation of the Earth or bad weather or anything else. Please draw what you think the picture would look like.
