Glass Cleaning with Carbon Dioxide

Dry ice snow (solid carbon dioxide) is used to clean telescope mirrors. Todd did a demonstration on a door window. This was one of the exhibits the kids liked the most!

Todd does this every two weeks on the primary mirror of our telescope.

The result: a window free of dust!
