In the planetarium today to finish the winter sky constellation. Student should be able to locate Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Taurus, Auriga, and Gemini. A Fall/Winter practice sheet was provided. If you need another one, go to the Astronomy moodle (enrolment key – rockstar). Can you find all of the winter constellations in the image below? There will be a short quiz on Tuesday 2-22-11 on the constellations up to Andromeda, HR diagram and star basics. Bring two cut out paper circles to class on Thursday 2-24-11 that show the relative size difference between our Sun and Betelgeuse (for x-credit). You may find the HR Diagram Explorer from 2-11-11 helpful.
