Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Leta used the NSN toolkit on the phases of the Moon, which is a highlight of the visit. The children were especially fascinated. She also shows eclipses. We have a donated demonstration device also that shows the shadow of the Moon moving across the earth model. David used the Space Rocks toolkit to examine meteorites.
