The Jewels of the Sky: Star Clusters!

Our partnership continues to grow with the South Mountain Environmental Education Center as another fun event was presented!  Tonight was all about Star Clusters.  Telescope viewing followed on this nice crisp and clear evening!  Our guests now know the difference between Open Clusters and Globular Clusters, where they are, how they were formed, and what kind of stars are in each and how we classify them.  At the end of the presentation, various pictures as seen in a magazine were shown.  The guests could describe what the object was, what kind of stars were in it, what they were made of, where they came from, and what their cosmic fate is.  (Thanks to our new young guest, Aurora, for her enthusiasm, and adding energy and excitement to the event!  She certainly was this event's special guest)
