Destination Saturn

Reuther Middle School

Having fun with the 3rd hour class.  The kids asked a lot of great questions.

Jeff preparing to start the 1st of 4 presenations.

Mrs. Kelly telling the kids about the prizes that we were going to give out during the presentation.  The kids won posters, books, and a telescope.  They also received "Saturn Observation Campaign" book markers, the stargazers club cards and booklets from Astronomy magazine.  Awesome!

The kids asked a lot of excellent questions.  Get a question correct win a prize!

Waiting for the next class to settle in.  Smile and say, "Cassini"! 

Jeff doing what he loves to do most, talking about  Saturn & the Cassini mission. 

"Sirius" talk about Saturn facts.  Jeff said, "Saturn is the least dense planet.... which means it's the smartest planet in the solar system."  The kids really got a kick out his jokes. 

What do you get when you cross one presenter and 225+ students....  lot's of Saturn stuff.  Jeff is letting the kids know that everyone leaves with brochures, bookmarkers, and other fun stuff after the presentation is over.

One of the classes pose for the camera. 

The last class of the day strikes a final pose.  I hope everyone had a "Sirius-ly" good time!

Thanks to Reuther Middle School and Mrs. Kelly for inviting us out for a day of "Sirius-Saturn-Fun".
