The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents<br>
<i>Astronomy Week<br>
<br>
<br>
</i></b></div>
BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is proud to present
Astronomy Week <b>July 6 – July 10, 2015 9am-11:30am.<br>
<br>
</b> Astronomy Week, an exciting special event as part of our
KidSummer Day Program, will be taught by Harwich Elementary School
Technology teacher, Larry Brookhart. These summer sessions include
daytime observation of sun spots, playing some astronomical games,
preparing equipment for evening viewing (how to set up a telescope and
software programs) and learning how to use astronomer’s tools to gather
information on celestial objects – gas giants, nebulae, galaxies, and
more! Both indoor and outdoor astronomy activities are included.<br>
<br>
Also, Mr. Brookhart will utilize a new portable “solar scope” which will
allow the students to explore our celestial neighbors in both a daytime
and nighttime setting. This solar scope, in addition to viewing the
sun, would also give us the capability of observing winter constellations
that are normally seen on January evenings during the brightest days of
July. Imagine being able to observe Orion then going to the
beach! <br>
<br>
The week also includes an evening STAR PARTY at the Harwich Observatory
for participants and their families.<br>
<br>
The program is for ages 10 – 13.<br>
Astronomy Week 5-day session is $215 Members / $240 Non-Members<br>
