Hi All,
Ref: My post 35 (above)
This Mr 8 yr old (will be in April 7yrs 11mths) on his visit to the Planetarium with the Joey Scout Troop really made an impression with the scout leaders.
The Joey Scouts had a quizz last night. To see how much they retained from the Planetarium visit.
Not one of them could get any correct except Mr. 8 . He had them all correct. Consequently the Leaders were informed, " I studied with my Pappy (Grandad)."
He even corrected the leaders, " While the Moon is part of the solar system it is not a planet and does not belong in reciting the order of the planets."
Still the sky is murky. I have not been able to show Mr. 8 any planets yet.
Someone is still sabotaging the viewing.
Do cameras count? Maybe someone unwittingly has made a camera purchase and clouded the sky.
Has been some sunshine
Cheers Marty
