Solar Systems

Both boys liked this exhibit where they could create their own computer generated solar system and see if their ideas were actually feasible.
Jackson spent a bit of time on this computer investigating Night Skies on different days in various months of the year. He enjoyed pointing out the differences of the star clusters and galaxies that were viewable during these different dates.
Jackson & Jeremiah loved exploring the many ways that a star is created and dies. They were fascinated with the gases that make up the life and death of stars, especially the brilliance and uniqueness of Nebulas and the awe-someness of Black Holes.
