On
Monday students at West Middle School were delighted to once again have the
Ford Motor Company Astronomy Club visit.
Club
members brought two telescopes and a variety of meteorites and moon
rocks. In addition to the fascinating information presented about
the meteorites, the students were given an opportunity to view the sky from
both telescopes.
One
of the telescopes allowed you to see the sun and its sunspots. The other
telescope was positioned to see the sun's prominence, which is similar to sun
flares except that have not left the sun's surface.
West
studnets are grateful to the club members, who gave their time to extend the
eighth grade Earth Science curriculum.
