Utrecht Observatory

The adventure my group had getting back to the Utrecht Observatory was one with a very windy path and multiple wrong turns, but we made it there with a hour to spare. So, we stood outside in the rain and waited. This was defiantly not a great start to the night, but things would soon change. We went inside, dried off, and the learning process began. First, we learned a brief history about the telescope and how they came to be. We found out that recently a new telescope was discovered and it is the oldest one in the Netherlands history and possible all of history. My favorite part though was when we got to use the replicas and we had to focus on the blue and red writing across town on a building. It would have been better to look at the stars, but as already stated it was a rainy day and clouds filled the sky. Overall though the observatory was still a cool experience to have and to learn about the history of the building itself.
