George Brothers see the stars.

On Monday the 23 August the George brothers went to see the stars. No they did not go to the moon on a spaceship but the Science Alive Star Dome visited Barton Rural School. Creative and Curious visited with Room 4 and 5. At first they were a bit hesistant to go inside the dome as it was very dark and they had to go through a tight tunnel to get inside.





Once inside they learnt about constellations, galaxies, the moon and all the planets. They saw the moon as we see it in the night sky and the phase it is in at the moment, the Waxing Gibbous. They were especially interested in the constellation Orion. Creative thought he looked very similiar to Orion, a big, strong hunter. The brothers had a lot of fun inside the dome but were thankful to eventually get outside into the daylight.
