One of B's favorite books recently is Fancy Nancy Sees the Stars, about Fancy Nancy going to see a star show at the planetarium. So we very excitedly planned a trip to our local planetarium, Chabot Space and Science Center in the east bay. Since we were also going camping this week, we thought it was perfect timing to learn about stars.
Since our garden box project (more on that later) bled over from our Saturday to our Sunday, we didn't get as early a start as we would have liked. But we still had a couple hours to spend at the planetarium. We saw a show about the Mayans and how they learned about the stars and created calendars. We also saw an astronaut exhibit and Bill the Science Guy's conservation/green exhibit. And we got to see three large telescopes, which we hope to go back and look through at night some time.
