Centennial 4th grade students had the opportunity to meet, learn from, and ask questions to an aerospace engineer! Mr. Eric Fattig is an aerospace engineer with the Juno Mission with NASA. Mr. Fattig talked to our students about Jupiter, engineering, and space.
The goal of the Juno Mission is to understand how Jupiter originated, map its magnetic field, and observe auroras, light shows.
Mr. Fattig taught our students that Jupiter is made of helium and you cannot stand on it. We also learned about Jupiter's moons, magnetic field, orbit path, and the storms that occur on Jupiter. The class really enjoyed our virtual field trip meeting aerospace engineer Mr. Eric Fattig, it was out of this world!
