Saturn - The Ringed Planet

This month at the South Mountain Environmental Education Center was all about Saturn. Besides talking about what the rings are made of and how they formed, we concentrated on the Casinni-Huygens Satellite Mission and some of the things it taught us about the planet and its largest moon... Titan. We marveled at some of the pictures sent back from this historic mission. There was certainly lots of "Oooo's" and "Ahhh's" as we flipped through slide after slide! Afterwards we had our telescopes set up and viewed the wonders of the night sky with our guests. Another great night! Next month, 17 November, will be all about Meteors, Asteroids, and Comets.  Information is on the Next Event page. Come join us!
