Observations with the class 10/23
On Sunday night, with the class, we had a stargaze on the pine view campus from 8pm until 10 pm. With the help of the binoculars and the multiple telescopes that were mounted, and with the favorable weather we were able to observe well. We looked at star clusters that Surrounded different constellations. Due to the favorable weather we were also able to see the international space station that passes over the stargaze at around 8:30 pm. This was very impressive especially due to it's sheer speed across the sky. We knew this was the iss because we had previously checked heavens-above.com and checked for telescopes that would orbit over our location, and at what time they would do so.
