Members of the Society of Physics students and the Astronomy Club took part in a field trip to Asheville, North Carolina.
On Saturday, April 11, eleven physicists and astronomers from the Society of Physics Students and the Astronomy Club packed into a van and went to Asheville, North Carolina.
The group visited UNC-Asheville’s Lookout Observatory. Student docents and Britt Lundgren from UNCA were the hosts. Even though it was cloudy at first, the sky cleared enough to observe Jupiter and its moons, some galaxies, and nebulae. The group managed to work on a hike to Catawba Falls before returning to campus. Elon faculty members Zack Hutchens and Martin Kamela accompanied the group.
