Here's some of the class at the beginning of the presentation.

Hello, everybody!

What an excellent earth and sun! They're orbiting perfectly!

Students looking at pictures of a model balloon launch. Soon I'll have pictures of the real thing for you!

I'm pointing to the telescope. This telescope works by using mirrors (instead of a lens) to focus the radiation.

You can see the telescope balancing on the top of the balloon if you look carefully at the poster.

The Extreme Cold Weather gear seems to be a little long in the sleeves for our volunteers!

The sunglasses were kept in that little bag. Did anyone else think they were supercool?

A student looking through the filter. Filters work like sunglasses to sort the different types of radiation (visible light, microwave, ultra-violet, infra-red, radio, etc.).

Everybody tries on a little something.

Here I am answering some questions. Make sure to keep asking questions!

Some tete-a-tete.
