    Extractions: The history of constellations Find out some history about the constellations seen in the night skies! Did you know there are eighty-eight constellations that can be found in the night skies? To the average person, a constellation is merely a group of illuminated stars which form a picture of sorts. But to the astronomer, a constellation points to a specific area in the night skies! Constellations can be found in several different areas of the night skyies. The average observer can find them by simply looking for a cluster of stars, especially the brightly illuminated stars, and try to find a pattern or picture to them. You can also check out several books from your local library about the constellations and what stars make up the varied patterns. Some books actually include charts which you can take outside with you to help find the specific constellations that you are looking for. bodyOffer(25811) At one time, the constellations consisted of curved lines. These lines outlined the pictures that the constellations represented. But, inthe year of 1928, astronomers changed to straight lines so that each constellation consisted of lines that ran from north to south or east to west. The twelve zodiacal constellations are probably the most commonly known among the eighty-eight star patterns. They can be seen from both the northern and the southern hemispheres. The twelve constellations are Cancer, Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius, Taurus, Virgo, Pisces, Libra, Leo, Capricorn, Aries, and Scorpio.

    Extractions: ASTR 1120-001 Quiz #1Prep Questions (Preston) This first quiz will be entirely multiple choice questions, and only 20 of them. As with all multi-choice questions, you will need to evaluate which answers are possible and DO THE EASIEST ONES FIRST. That way you don’t wind up losing points on questions you could have answered because you were working on a long calculation instead. This does have one drawback, and that is that you can forget to go back to questions you skipped. Therefore, rule #2: CHECK YOUR ANSWER SHEET TO MAKE SURE ALL 20 QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. Sometimes if you can only eliminate one or two wrong answers to a question, that improves your chances when guessing which of the other three answers is correct! Worth a try. Lastly, if you do not understand something because of the way the question is phrased, RAISE YOUR HAND. 1. Stellar Parallax what it is, what it depends on. So far, we discussed this in the planetarium on Tuesday, and a little bit on Thursday, although it was in your Chapter 2 reading assignment (p.62 and look at the figure!). Why don't most constellations change in appearance over years?

    Extractions: Regular attendance is expected. In this course, supplemental material will be presented which can only be obtained by regular class attendance. In addition, quizzes will be administered at every class meeting. If a student cannot take the midterm or final exam on the designated date, they must contact the instructor before the exam is given and make other arrangements. Always assume that classes will be held as scheduled unless an announcement is made of cancellation. Student Preparation:

    Extractions: Our solar system is part of the Milky Way Galaxy and our solar system has nine planets. The sun, the largest object and the central object of our solar system, is a star. Stars are surrounding us in space and some are even arranged in a way that they look like pictures or different characters called constellations. While we know much about our solar system, there is much that is still a mystery. Make a list of 10 things that you want to 'discover' about our solar system while following this webquest! Why is it important for us to know about our solar system? Why does the solar system interest you? In this WebQuest you will be working together with a group of students in class. Each group will answer the Task or Quest(ion). As a member of the group you will explore Webpages from people all over the world who care about Science. Because these are real Webpages we're tapping into, not things made just for schools, the reading level might challenge you. Feel free to use the online Webster dictionary or one in your classroom.

    Extractions: Recommended Learning Resources It is expected that students will: Few activities capture the imagination of students as does exploring the wonders of space. In this section, students will develop an appreciation for the nature and life cycles of stars. As an introductory activity, lead a class discussion on what students know about the organization of the universe. Using this knowledge, each student draws a diagram showing all the components of the universe in relation to one another. After viewing a short film about the nature of the universe, students revise their drawings. Students research and produce a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, then identify and classify stars using the diagram.

    Extractions: The Scholastic Science Place series is a K-6 program with 42 units, 6 for each grade level. The 6 units for grade 6 are organized under topics in the life, earth, and physical sciences. Three key themes(1) scale and structure, (2) systems and interactions, and (3) patterns of changeare incorporated into the program. For each unit, teaching materials, student materials, and some optional components are available. Student Edition In The Universe: Exploring Stars, Constellations, and Galaxies , students learn that the stars and other bodies that make up the universe are constantly changing. The unit's lessons are grouped under 3 subconcepts: (1) Stars can be studied from earth using direct and indirect evidence. (2) Stars have predictable life cycles and exist in groups. (3) The universe is constantly expanding. is a 17-lesson unit requiring about 22 class sessions of 60 minutes each.

    Extractions: Home Tools Schema Browser Projects ... Your Constellations Most of the stars and galaxies in SkyServer have never been studied by anyone. So they give you the perfect chance to find your own constellations! Like the ancient Greeks or Japanese, you can find new patterns of stars that make new constellations. Your teacher will give you a sheet of graph paper. Draw a very simple shape on the paper. Draw whatever you like - maybe an animal, a person, or an everyday object like a pencil. Think about how to make your drawing out of stars, like the Greeks made Orion. Draw about 6-10 stars on your graph paper, to form an outline of your constellation. Now, go to SkyServer's Navigation Tool . You'll see a screen like this: The boxes "ra" and "dec" in the top left of the tool give the location in the sky. They are coordinates, like x and y in math or longitude and latitude in geography. "Get Image" loads a new image. You can zoom in or out in the image with the zoom bar below Get Image. Click the plus sign to zoom in or the minus sign to zoom out. You can also move around in the sky by clicking the NWSE buttons around the image. Pick some area of the sky, then look for your constellation! Find stars or galaxies that match the outline you made on graph paper. They don't have to match exactly. It might help to zoom out, so you can see a larger area of sky at once.

    Extractions: RETICULUM, pronounced reh-TICK-yah-lum. Chart showing the 4 constellations. These are modern constellations, originating in 1752, by the Frenchman Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, the first person to map the southern skies comprehensively, and none is easily identified, or obvious. Fornax , the Furnace, was originally Fornax Chemica, the chemical furnace; Horologium represents the Clock; Caelum , the Chisel, represents the engraving tool or burin used by craftsmen in metal or ivory; Reticulum , the net was originally Reticulum Rhomboidalis, the system of lines in a eyepiece reticle. Fornax contains the Fornax cluster of galaxies at a distance of around 55 million light years. In addition it also contains the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, a cloud of very faint, scattered stars about 420,000 light years away, which is a satellite of the Milky Way Galaxy. This was discovered photographically and is notoriously difficult to see visually. One of the two globular clusters in Horologium, AM1, is the most distant in the Milky Way galaxy at 390,000 light years away. At 15th magnitude, it is too faint for normal amateur telescopes.
