Friday night was a very fun and interesting night. Dr. Jim came and picked us up, and took us to the Highland Road Observatory. We got the chance to see Saturn, the handle to the Big Dipper, A Nebula, and a dead star. We didn't make it in enough time to hear the whole lecture, but we did make the end. By us coming in at the end, I didn't get the full understanding of what was really going on at the observatory. Yesterday, we stayed in and studied some more information on the scientific background. We discussed the Ionosphere and its layers. The ionosphere is a part of the atmosphere it has three layers. The E and F Layers are displayed at night and the D Layer is displayed in the day.
