Snow Days

Enjoy your days off. If you can find the time, go and visit some of the fraction and other sites that are linked on our blog. Hope to see you soon,

Has anyone tried Star Walk?

STAR WALK ($5): A jaw-dropping astronomy app. Hold the iPad toward the night sky and it labels everything.

Star Walk is billed as an educational app, but it’s as entertaining as anything on the market.
