Minerals and Planetarium

We found a little treasure on the U of A campus at the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium.


The fun started with the sundial.  Super cool and, yes, it was about 1:30.


We saw a lot of beautiful minerals.  They had a special display of minerals from China, and most of them belonged to just one guy!



Matthew liked this one.


Loved this one's shape.


Yes, must watch out for those on early morning runs.

Down the stairs to see more minerals.

Super big rock!

I thought the shape of this one was interesting.

I liked how this turquoise was carved.

Meteorites.

Gold!

Radioactive!

Rocks from the moon!


Opal.  Just for you, Mom.

Turquoise, also for you, Mom =).


Fossils.

Fossils and dinosaur bones.

Inside the Planetarium, we learned about Saturn and various constellations and saw a laser patriotic show.
Summary view.  Learned some and much more enjoyable than college geology!
