A Behind the Scenes Look at the Discovery Channel Telescope
February 26 2013 at 1:00pm EST
For elementary, middle, and high school classrooms
Bring your students on an exclusive tour behind the $53 million facility that encapsulates the 4.3 meter Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT). In addition to the breathtaking images that the DCT has captured in its short life, we’ll review the engineering and architectural challenges that were conquered to sustain such an amazing undertaking. Plus, you will have the opportunity to vote on which part of our Universe we should observe during our live viewing encore presentation at 9pm EST.
Gazing the Nighttime Sky through the Discovery Channel Telescope
Encore Presentation at 9:00pm EST
For families
Grab a warm cup of hot chocolate and gather round to tune into this live web broadcast of the evening sky. With exclusive access and control of the Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT), Director Jeff Hall and DCT Commissioning Scientist Stephen Levine will be navigating the telescope to the top-voted area from the daytime broadcast. Images will be surreal. Pajamas are optional.
Grade Level: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

I registered for this mornings class but could never get into the event even with my confirmation website address. It just took me to Discoveryed. com. Now I am trying to register for the late class and I can't. Is the registration closed? Or what do I need to do?

The link that was provided in EventBrite linked to Discoveryed.com and not the webinar.

I am going to do the live program during school tie. I want to invite our parents and students to participate at night. Do I just send them this site abd have them sign in. They will not be answering so many of the questions since they aren't teachers. I don't want to confuse them.
