After studying the solar system, fourth graders at Naomi Elementary School purchased a star and named it Rambler 2018 for their graduating class.
They have received a certificate with the star’s coordinates so that they can locate it with a telescope as well as a picture of Rambler 2018 in space for their classroom.
At the end of the study, Laura Smalley’s and Autumn Hentz’s science classes viewed stars through “Hubble 3D” at the IMAX Theater.
