Astronomy Day is the celebration for the Science Awareness Month, I'm very excited in this event because they say that you can feel that the planets and the stars are just around you. I did not mind how much does it cost because that is what I want. But what happen there is not what I expect.
First, we still conduct our classes in the morning because we are Batch 2. The Batch 2 is scheduled in the afternoon. We start at around 2:30 because the Batch 1 is not yet done in their activity. I am in Group 5 so our first stop is the film showing. We watch about the invention of the telescopes and discovered there that it was not Galileo Galilei who invented the first telescope, it was Hans Lippershey. Galileo just heard about it and made his own. He is just the first one o focus it in the sky. Next, we go to the Exhibit, and I learned there how to differentiate the normal rock to a meteorite but as the exhibit goes, the rain suddenly fell which was not expected. When we are done in the exhibit, we go to the gym wet because of the rain and the Space Dome is also postponed because the place where the space dome is was flooded. Other students just help in removing the water so the space dome activity was resumed but it is already 6:00 o'clock. Inside the dome, we travel to time, to the different planets and in the moons. I also see there the different constellations and I was amaze to see that.
We go back to our room first because we thought that there is no "ask-an-astronomer" but we go down again because they said there is. The astronomer said ask her a question or just write it in a piece of paper if we are shy. ask there if it is possible that the planets will align. The answer there is no because the axis of the planets were not the same. I am very disappointed because there is no star gazing which is the highlight of the program but they told us that if they will be near to our school again, they will visit us and we are going to have the star gazing so we keep the tickets.
