Trip to the observatory

Because of the Weekend of Science Suzan and I went to an observatory. There were a lot of model rockets to be seen and some of them were launched. It was so much fun! We were able to look at the sun through a telescope with special filter and we also listened to a lecture about The wonders of the universe.

Some old parts of real rockets were shown.

Model rockets were launched.

Weekend of Science

This weekend it is the Weekend of Science in the Netherlands. Today Suzan and I went on a guided tour in the laboratory of Qlip, where the quality and components of milk are tested. I had never really been in a real laboratory so it was fun to be able see what it looked like in real life. It also brought back some memories of our high school chemistry classes of the burning marks on our lab coats and funny smells.
