Constellations
During our first class we discussed the Celestial Sphere with emphasis on constellations and directions. Here is a drawing of Ursa Major as seen around 12:15AM on 6/24/12. The "o"s represent stars that were observed and the "x"s represent stars that are part of Ursa Major but were not visible.

Need something concrete here. Maybe you could draw a constellation you observed like the Big Dipper for example. Include the date and time and any other stars around it that would make up Ursa Major. Can you see all of the stars that make up that more elaborate pattern.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and a point.
