“It’s a 6-inch refractor, but it’s a pair of refractors. The problem that sometimes we have with 2 Telescopes or binoculars is the ability to easily merge the image so it looks like one image,” said David Gedalia, a member of the astronomy club.
Beyond telescopes, the event had tables showcasing club activities, free snacks and drinks from ASG, and a presentation by this semester’s guest speaker.
In all the years I’ve been teaching, I have never met two people who were identical, and then I look into space, and I see the wondrous variety of stars and objects, and I just see it as being the same,” said Teresa Ciardi, Professor of Astronomy & Physical Science at COC.
“This was sent up in July last year, so we got to watch the actual launch. It was really cool. We were looking at the rocket coming through,” said Cameron Alexander De Martini, COC student and a software project manager.
“We were really interested in seeing if this guy would be gone. It’s kind of counterintuitive. You’d think we’d want to see it, we don’t want to see it, we want to see it gone.”
The Star Party is hosted twice a year in the spring and the fall, so mark your calendars.
The Canyon Country Campus concluded this semester’s biannual star party last week. This event is known for its interesting, complex equipment, which is ideal for stargazing.
