Mr. Manning also brought with him a telescope and described the sizes of planets as well as their orbit cycles. He led students in a hands-on exercise to better understand how the Earth moves in a 24-hour period, by instructing them to stand up and spin once. Mr. Manning also described how the sun, planets, and small bodies known as comets, asteroids, and meteoroids make up the Solar System, which he explained is located within the Milky Way galaxy - one of about 20 that are in the Local Group.
Campagne students also had the opportunity to view a video footage of the moon and learn about other components of the universe.
