I was taking a walk the other day along the Baltimore Harbor and noticed
the Moon was out. I got a picture of it over the Maryland Science
Center. (It's the bright object over the arching roof of the building.) On Friday nights, if it is clear out, they open the observatory to the public. When the Moon is out, and isn't a full moon, they look at the craters. Sometimes, they even aim the telescope at the planet Jupiter when it is visible in the sky. Even in the city you can see some stars in the sky, you just have to have to scan the sky on a clear night. But if you want to see more stars you will have to leave the city for that.
Next time you have a clear night or one with few clouds go outside and look up. (If it's winter you might want to grab a jacket, mittens and a hat so you don't freeze.) Go explore the sky, Meet Me Outdoors.
