Monday November 18, the three Astronomy classes were treated to a

visit from NASA Ambassador Larry Metcalf. Mr. Metcalf came out to

DFHS and gave a brief set up presentation on Solar Observations etc.

The classes then went outside to safely view the Sun with Mr. Metcalf’s

Solar telescopes. It was a fantastic experience for the students who

were able to see the Sun in a way they never had before, including

Sunspots. Students were even able to hold a large meteorite.

Keep Looking Up!

Interims were passed out on Tuesday, November 19, during 6B. Midterms are December 17-20.
