Cornell Field Trip

On Tuesday last week we went on a homeschool field trip to Cornell University. We visited Wilson Lab at Cornell. That might not seem like a big deal until you find out that Wilson Lab is the where the Synchrotron is located. Here's a link that gets into the details about it: http://www.chess.cornell.edu/




It was a very cool trip they gave us a tour of the facility and we even went down in the tunnel where the ring is.



We visited several buildings on campus throughout the day and finished with a chimes concert in the chimes tower in the library. 





It was a fun day with with family.

Operation PAN-STARRS

I was just rummaging around in the blog and found this unpublished post from last year. 


Mission Control, we have success!
We've been chasing the comet all month. Last night, we pulled into a parking area next to a local business spotted the comet, snapped a couple of pics and it disappeared into the growing haze at the horizon.

Jupiter also had  a close encounter with the moon last night.
It got closer to the moon around midnight, It became a trio: Jupiter, moon and Aldebaran. 


As excited as the kids were for the comet and the moon, the CSX train was far more interesting, loud, big and moving!
