Pack 529’s Visit to the Planetarium

Eric Nagel — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:41:36 +0000

On November 21st, 2009 Our Cub Scout pack 529 went on a field trip to the Buffalo State College Planetarium. It was fun, exciting and we all learned a lot about the constellations.

The planetarium is round and has a black ball that’s on a long stick and it projects the stars on the ceiling. In addition to learning some basic constellations we also learned about: Orion, Nebula, and the Pleiades, light pollution, and the nearby galaxy, that’s why I think planetariums are very interesting.
