Observatory
I loved the observatory we went to! It had been raining all day and it was a new moon so we wouldn't have been able to see it anyways but I still very much enjoyed it. The old telescopes that had been replicated were difficult to look through to see but it was fun trying. The history behind the telescope was also extremely interesting to me. I really enjoy learning about the beginning of astronomy and how people even thought to make and use the lenses to see the moon and stars. When the roof moved it was a very weird feeling but also so cool! This was definitely one of my favorite parts so far!

It was very interesting to see how in the olden days how they had to look through such a hard to see telescopes and just how much harder it was for them to use back then. As well as being able to keep them still for so long, it can be very hard without a hand (or head).
