Fun with scouts

David's scout troop recently took a tour of the Harvard Observatory and saw both the original telescope (built in 1847!) and the new one (and got to see some stars in the new one).

Drawing of the old telescope (was hard to get a good picture)


The telescope still works, but is rarely used due to it's age

The kids got to sit in chairs on the observatory platform
