Minor
• Southern constellations have Latin names:– Telescopium, Sextans, Pyxsis

Turn to your neighbor and discuss what Astrological sign you have been told you are.

Sun signs
• Are based on which constellation the sun was on the day of your birth• Moon sign: which constellation is
the moon in at the time of your birth
• Most astrological signs are incorrectly shown because they are based on your birth where the sun was during Greek times.

Your Birth SignROUGHLY, it is the constellation that the Sun is covering up during the day you are born if you were born 2000
years ago.

North Star
• Even though Polaris is currently the North star, it doesn’t lie due North –and eventually will move and Vega will be our North Star, Why do you think this is happening? Discuss with your elbow partner, write down your thoughts on your white board, be ready to defend them.
![Page 22: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The North Star
• Polaris, our current North Star is the 49th brightest star in the night sky!!!!!
• To find it, locate the cup of the Big Dipper to the handle of the Little dipper.
• It doesn’t appear to move in the night sky but the other stars rotate around it
• North pole and Polaris are about 1° off from one another

Earth’s Orbital Motion: what causes the North star to change?
Precession: rotation of Earth’s axis itself; makes one complete circle in about 26,000 years
![Page 25: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Precession
• Wobbles in a 26,000 year cycle• Wobble is between Polaris, Vega and Thuban• Changes the position of the Vernal Equinox
which will also change the co-ordinates of the stars

Celestial Sphere
The celestial sphere:
Stars seem to be on the inner surface of a sphere surrounding the Earth
They aren’t, but they can use two-dimensional spherical coordinates (similar to latitude and longitude) to locate sky objects
![Page 28: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Celestial Coordinates
Right Ascension• Like longitude• Use units of time-hours
instead of degrees• 0 hour is the vernal equinox
Declination• Like latitude except use +/-
instead of north and south
![Page 29: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Angular Measure: A way to describe the amount of sky a celestial body takes up
• Full circle contains 360° (degrees)
• Each degree contains 60′ (arc-minutes)
• Each arc-minute contains 60′′ (arc-seconds)
• Angular size of an object depends on its actual size and distance from viewer

What do you think?
• Do the stars stay in the same position in the sky all day/night long?
• Do we see the same stars all year round every night?

What do you think?
• What causes the stars move?• Do the stars actually move in the way they
appear from Earth?• Is the daily motion of the Sun different from
the stars?

Horizon
Is the horizon shown a real physical horizon, or an imaginary plane that extends from the observer and Earth out to the stars?
Can the observer shown see an object located below the horizon?
Is there a star that is in an unobservable position?
When a star travels from being below the observer’s horizon to being above the observer’s horizon, is that star rising or setting?

Earth’s Orbital Motion
• Daily cycle, noon to noon, is diurnal—solar day and is based on the sun’s position.
• Stars aren’t in quite the same place 24 hours later, though, due to Earth’s rotation around Sun; when they are once again in the same place, one sidereal day has passed
![Page 48: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SEASONAL CHANGES IN OUR NIGHT SKY
• Summer triangle: Vega, Denab, Altair• Winter: Orion, Sirius (Dog Star)
• The change occurs about 1°/night

Earth’s Orbital Motion
Seasonal changes to night sky are due to Earth’s motion around Sun
![Page 50: Charting the Heavens Day 2 Going to the Stars Road at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. This picture shows our view of the Milky Way in the night sky](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0031a28abf838cc3e7a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Earth’s Orbital MotionThe Twelve constellations (some say thirteen) that the Sun moves through during the year are called the zodiac; The view of the night sky changes as Earth moves in its orbit about the Sun. As drawn here, the night side of Earth faces a different set of constellations at different times of the year. The 12 constellations named here make up the astrological zodiac.
