Comments and anecdotes about the event:
SCCK Astronomy Program. Program from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. (3 Total) 17 guests. Started with a look through a PST at some prominences then compared the view of a sunspot from last week. With some help of the parents we made pocket solar systems using stickers for the planets for the younger kids. Then we went back and showed the kids how big other suns would be if they were in our suns spot using the pocket solar system.
