Learning Astronomy Through Storytelling . That children at different stages of development will derive different meanings from the same story is obvious but worth mentioning. ... If you teach K-2, the central message of the story that you want students to understand is simply that the Moon's shape, as they see it in the sky, varies. ... Children learn that a story has a plot, a setting, characters, a main problem, a crisis point, and a solution. ...

. This image is a screen capture of the full width half max of the imager array taken on February 15, 2000. The left portion of the image is simply the fwhm calculations for each of the chips in the array. On the right side is the estimated fwhm corrected for wavelength. This takes all the different filters and converts the estimated seeing as if it were in i' I believe. It is useful as a measure of the consistency of image quality across the array. As you can see, it is quite good! . long@apo.nmsu.edu
