Find Star
Gazing Fun
The huge domed room got
darker, and darker, and ther
so dark that the children could
see absolutely nothing at all
Then up above them single
stars appeared, then others
until a whole skyful of constel.
lations shone down on them.
The children were the sixth
grade pupils of Mrs. Helen
Peitzmeyer from Prospect
School, and they were in the
Planetarium of the Cleveland
Museum Of Natural History
watching the artificial stars
thrown on the spherical cell

and listening to the Museums
lecturer explain about the stars
and planets in the sky.
They learned about Orior
the Hunter, his dogs. and the
bears; about Casseopeia, An.
dromeda, and Perseus; about
the planets named for the gods
and goddesses, and about the
old Sun that goes past then
and blanks them out in day.

They found out that different
consultations appear in oui
sky at different times Of the
year, as our own world goes
around the Sun, and also that

vations as a person goes north
or south on the Earth. The
only thing that got tired was

gazing ended all too soon. as
they had to board the bus that
would take them back to school
In other parts Of the Museum
they saw dinosaurs and other
fascinating things as they
walked by, but they had little
time for them on this trip
Many of them plan to return at
other times for a longer stay
with their parents along to see
the wonderful things Of Nature
with them.
