Welcome to Every Sunday, I meet students and parents from Naperville at the Morton Arboretum to record atmospheric data for the GLOBE program. On October 24, 2011, I went to Highlands School to show the students some Sun spots with my telescope. After my visit there, I went to the Arboretum and took some pictures of the beautiful fall colors.
