Afternoon at the Planetarium By: Siobhan

Yesterday Dad took us to our local planetarium. We had a great time, and I got a lot of pictures.
 When we got there, Tert wanted a picture with the rocket. 
 This was once in the air!
 Infrared photo!
 We went to an exhibit on the moon next...
 Then everyone played with some blocks which are specially designed for building towers. These will make up a future exhibit.
 Rus and Tert
Filia
 Their current temporary exhibit is on earthquakes. We watched a cool video on earthquakes.
 Then we went on to the paper airplane exhibit. Filia had Dad make her an airplane, and then she tried to get it through the hoops. 

 Then we went to the structure building exhibit in the earthquake section. The black board shook like an earthquake when you turned a dial. You had to make structures that could stand through the earthquake.
Rus tried out the Earthquake Karaoke exhibit and jumped to the frequency of the earthquakes!
We finished by looking through the telescope at the observatory. It was a fun trip. Thanks for reading!
