Stellarium Assignment

The Stellarium Project: Found HERE


4. Find a date and time when the sun is in your zodiac constellation. 09 October 2009




5. How high in the sky will the moon get tomorrow? Give the latitude coordinate. +26 degrees

6. Find your zodiac, as seen from provo, and get a screen shot of it.

7. Choose one of the scripts to watch and write a paragraph on why you chose that particular script and what you observed.

I really liked the partial lunar eclipse script. It was very informative and it helped me understand better the way that viewing the stars can change during a partial lunar eclipse. It was really helpful for me to understand what it looks like when the moon is only partially covered rather than waiting until the next opportunity and staying up really late to watch. I'm excited to see more and learn more and even to experience a real lunar eclipse someday!
