Astronomy Trip

The Astronomy class has once again gone to Tenerife, Canary Islands to spend just about a week looking at the stars… My roommate and I were on the trip and it was an incredible time! Although we lost about 2 nights due to bad weather we were still able to see a ton of things. This group was so dynamic and worked extremely well together and because of these efforts we were able to discover (as far as these trips are concerned) the planets of Neptune, for the 3rd time ever, as well as Uranus for the 1st time ever!!!! It was such an incredible feeling throughout the class because it helped us really understand what we were learning about. Professor Raul de la Fuente Marcos came along with us, as usual and on top of that, this year we had a special guest…Dr. W. Johnson, Chair of the Physics Department for Suffolk. I honestly believe that we all had a fabulous time and learned quite a bit of information…now to get the log reports done…..

¡Hasta Luego!
