Module Description: Year of Astronomy

Celebrate 400 years of telescopic astronomy by building your own small telescope and learning what’s to be seen in the night sky. We’ll also track planets, a comet and one of the largest asteroids, make and test sundials and a moondial, explore Mars using the latest NASA software, and make an iMovie of you flying around a planet of your choice. You’ll get to use UConn’s refractor telescopes at night observing sessions and observe sunspots if available.

Offered July 6-10
