Courage & Character
Hello Fall River Fox Families,
Look out for the planetary parade tonight! Several planets in our solar system will align in a beautiful display visible in our evening sky. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to step outside and experience the wonders of space together.
This event is a perfect way to spark your child’s interest in astronomy. If the sky is clear, you’ll have a chance to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all appearing in a line. Such an alignment doesn’t happen often, making this a truly special sight.
You don’t need any special equipment, other than maybe a pair of binoculars. If you have a telescope at home, this would be a great time to use it! Encourage your child to make observations and perhaps even sketch what they see.
Moments like these create lasting memories and inspire future scientists, engineers, and explorers. We hope you’ll take a few moments to look up and marvel at the beauty of our universe.
Onward and upward!
