Hansen Planetarium

In downtown Salt Lake City, Rob and I went to take the kids to the Hansen Planetarium. Low and behold, the one we remembered going to on dates in an old historic building was closed down (man that makes you feel old). They built a brand new modern one called Clark Planetarium next to a mall. The kid’s favorite thing was this contraption called “Newton’s Dream,” where balls roll around and interact with other parts of the machine. Here is Gordon using all his strength to move the lever.
We all saw the Imax 3D Dinosaur movie which was awesome. All the boys here in those funky 3D glasses.

We all know Nicholas will someday have a profession in metorology. Probably research or computer generated modeling. So here he is in front of the weather map.

Ben and I took the planet challenge at this exibit. We learned various facts about each planet.
Finally, man has walked on Mars. What a good looking man at that!
