Today we went inside the Space Dome. You can actually see Venus when you look at the sky at night time. Mia didn't know you will only be able to see the full moon on Monday and Tuesday next week. If you look at the full moon it will be too bright to see the craters and could hurt your eyes. The rings around Saturn can disappear sometimes because they are very thin. If you go outside at 6pm tonight you might see some constellations and you will see Venus and Jupiter. You will always see the Southern Cross if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. Some of the constellations are a dog, a man, a lion and a scorpion. The man has a belt called Orion's Belt. Jupiter has more than 63 moons. Leo the lion constellation is upside down when we look at it because the people who named it lived in the Northern Hemisphere.
These are some of the facts we learned today.
