Astronomy Field Trips Around DFW

Updated: If you plug in your location, this website gives the time/location of astronomical objects in the sky.  https://theskylive.com/guide?geoid=4691930


Since we are spending a lot of time on astronomy this year and next, I have included some great field trips in our studies.  

We visited Frontiers of Flight in Dallas, TX: https://www.flightmuseum.com  Awesome field trip - one of my favorite museums of all times!

We visited NASA in Houston:  https://spacecenter.org 

We plan to visit the University of North Texas observatory in Ponder, TX:  https://astronomy.unt.edu/observatories  UNT also has Sky Theater on campus in Denton: https://astronomy.unt.edu/sky-theater  These are all run through the Physics Department at UNT.

Our final astronomy field trip will be the Monnig Meteorite Gallery on the Texas Christian University campus:  https://monnigmuseum.tcu.edu/visitor-info/

We love astronomy!!
