OCC Planetarium

I've been working on my astronomy merit badge for Scouts, so we took a little trip to the OCC Planetarium. The show was fun, but we also liked Focoult's Pendulum in the lobby. The pendulum swings back and forth in a plane, but the earth rotates below it. As it rotates, pins are knocked down around the circle. As you can see in the video, Tommy was VERY excited to see a pin get knocked down after waiting a whole 5 minutes. There's also a cool reflection of us in the pendulum.
