Task · part of 8. One observing project of six: approved AND guided by your counselor

8(a). Visit a planetarium or observatory, and report on it

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 8: which observing project, and has your counselor agreed it?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A written report, a scrapbook OR a video presentation, covering four things: the activities there, the exhibits and displays you saw, the telescopes and instruments in use, and the celestial objects you observed. It does NOT satisfy requirement 4.
