| We joined a group at the University of Washington observatory, to learn about telescopes | Innaias might not have kept up 100% with the presentation | They explained some of the math behind how telescopes work | Then they handed out telescope kits | Flynn and Guinness both built one | Done! |
| They also had stickers and other ways to decorate the finished product | If there’s anything Flynn and Guinness love, it’s stickers | No stickers on Innaias though | It was just starting to get dark, and Saturn was visible | The rings weren’t really identfiable as rings per se | But you could tell they were there, which is pretty amazing given how simply these telescopes are |
| Still looking | Running into one of our home-schooling friends | UW’s main observatory is in Ellensburg, WA now, but the Theodore Jacobsen served that purpose for about 80 years, until the 1970s | Heading up to the main telescope | This historic telescope was assembled by a UW math professor, Joseph Taylor, in the 1890s | Looking up at the telescope |
