The Dutch Fork High School Astronomy classes had at the Astronomy Night Observation February 6.
Around 19 students and parents came out to observe a host of celestial objects in the night sky.
The stargazing group was able to check off many items on their Astronomy bucket list. Several students also brought their own telescopic equipment and led the group in observations.
They were able to practice the skills of using different telescopes that they had learned earlier in the year.
They observed craters and mountains on the first quarter Moon, as well as Venus, Mars, Jupiter (and all four of its Galilean moons), Orion’s belt, the Orion Nebula, Betelgeuse (the Red Giant star), Rigel (the Super Blue Giant star) and the Andromeda Galaxy.
