Night Sky Observations
Astronomy involves the making and recording of observations of objects and phenomena visible in the night sky. As a course-long project, you are asked to perform night viewing of celestial objects at least once a week for the duration of the workshop and to maintain a log of your observations. Observations may be done individually or with others in the class, but the logs must be prepared by each individual
To complete this assignment, choose one of the following methods:
· Observations With Sky Chart or Wheel
o Obtaina star chart or star wheel. There are websites where you can download charts representing the night sky on a particular date. Additionally, star charts are available for purchase at many book stores. A star chart will help you locate various constellations. Information regarding the position and best times for viewing planets is also available on the Internet.
· Observations With Computer Program
o Downloadand use Stellarium from the Internet to complete your observations. It can be download by clicking here.
· Alternative Assignment
o Visit a planetarium or observatory in your area.
o Write a 1,050- to 1,400–word report describing your experience:
· The name of the facility and its association
· The type of equipment
· Showings (celestial objects observed)
· Other things learned about astronomy
· You can also include any planetarium show or videos you watched during your visit.
If you have a pair of binoculars or a camera that can be used at night, feel free to use them to enhance or record your experience.
At a minimum, you should try to note the following:
1. The Moon and its phase
2. The North Star (Polaris): the associated constellations of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major (also known as the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper).
3. See Figure 2.11(a) in text. Note the position of the two constellations at two separate times and draw a chart as shown in Figure 2.11.
4. Identify at least four other constellations.
5. Determine whether the Milky Way is visible and, if so, its orientation (see Ch. 2).
6. Identify and observe at least two planets and describe their movement over your weeks of observation.
7. Note any other observed celestial objects or phenomena, such as meteor showers, comets, and satellites.
8. Record meteorological conditions, such as cloud cover, lightning, and light pollution.
Create a chart or table for your observations each week. You can use the one below or create your own (the contents in left column came from the information above).
Write a 300- to 500-word summary of your findings.
Submit the table and summary to your facilitator.
