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 dont 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: 8th Grade Database Lesson Stars and Galaxies Lesson Goal: The goal is to have students understand the structure and composition of the universe by studying the stars and galaxies and their evolution through time. Students will explore the physical characteristics of different stars and galaxies. Using a variety of print and Internet sources, students will research different stars and galaxies and create a database with information to identify similarities and patterns. Students will use StarBase, StarOffice's database application, to create a database and produce reports to analyze the gathered information. Time Required: Fifty five-minute periods over 8 days Rationale: This lesson is designed to addresses Science and Language Arts standards for the 8th grade. Earth Science standard 4 requires students understand the properties and characteristics of stars and galaxies. This standard requires students understand how stars are born and how they evolve over time. Students will learn about the appearance, classification, position, and size of various stars, constellations and galaxies. Language Arts writing standard 2.3 requires students write research reports that record important ideas from significant information sources. Standard 1.4 for Research and Technology states students must plan and conduct multi-step information searches using computer networks and modem-delivered services. Student Academic Outcome Objectives: Students will be able to gather data about stars and galaxies from print and Internet sources.

Extractions: Winter Constellations GLOSSARY This is a glossary of terms used in my report. This might help you understand some of the terms I use. If you look in the sources you can find books and web sites that will give you a full explanation of the terms. Asterism A group of stars that take on an easily recognized shape or form; a cluster of stars. Astrology The use of astronomical phenomena to predict earthly and human events. This practice is not accepted by Christian scholars and believers. Black Hole The remains of a star after it has exploded. It has a very strong gravitational pull and sucks in every object around it. It even pulls back rays of light and that is why we cannot see a black hole. Constellations A group of fixed stars viewed together, usually named with reference to an imaginary outline enclosing them. A basic asterism plus much more of the surrounding sky and stars. Double Stars Also called binary systems. Consist of two stars that revolve around each other or around a common center of gravity. Galaxy A huge system of stars, gas, dust, planets, and other interstellar matter. The system is held together by gravity and rotates around its own center. There are millions of galaxies in space. A few are visible to see without binoculars or telescopes. One of the most beautiful and best known galaxies is M31, the Andromeda Galaxy.

Extractions: Glossary of Terms Astronomical Almanac: A compilation of many facts used by both amateur and professional astronomers. Some of the information such as a list of bright stars stays the same from year to year. Other information such as the celestial positions of the planets and information about eclipses changes each year. This book is published by the US Naval Observatory Asterism: A recognizable pattern of bright stars, usually (but not always) associated with a single constellation. Cassegrain telescope: A reflecting telescope in which the secondary mirror is mounted in front of the telescope and reflects light back down the tube through a hole in the center of the primary mirror to the eyepiece. CCD Camera: A digital camera attached to a telescope for low light conditions of astronomy. CCD stands for charged-coupled device. A CCD consists of a large array of light-sensitive elements that are used to record images of stars and galaxies. Instead of the image being recorded on film, the CCD image is placed in an image file on the computer. Constellation: A designated region of the sky containing a pattern of stars identified by name. The entire sky surrounding the earth is divided into 88 constellations named after mythological figures, animals, and objects. Each constellation occupies a region of the sky containing that star pattern. Each season different constellations are visible in the sky from any given location.
Comparing Astrology And Astronomy
constellations are apparent associations of stars and galaxies, as seen fromEarth. In reality, these objects are very far away from each other.

Extractions: Pre Lab BACKGROUND: Stars are balls of gas that emit energy created by fusion, a nuclear reaction within the star. There are many sizes and brightness of stars, ranging from super hot, blue-white stars (over 20,000EK) to cool red stars (3,000EK). Our Sun is a medium yellow star, towards the small and cool end of the spectrum. Current theory suggests that stars are born in nebulae, which are interstellar gas clouds. This is happening today. An example is the Orion Nebula (in the sword or bow of the Orion the Hunter constellation). Stars also die. Older stars types include red giants and supergiants. Constellations are apparent associations of stars and galaxies, as seen from Earth. In reality, these objects are very far away from each other. The stars that make up the constellations are all within our own Milky Way galaxy. The galaxies can be much further away; because of their distance, they appear as points of light to the naked eye. Constellations were very important to early people. They allowed them to find directions during the night, which helped them navigate on land and at sea. The yearly changes in the constellations also revealed to early farmers when spring and summer were approaching. This was more accurate than watching the Sun rise and set every morning.

Extractions: Seen from Earth, the stars seen to form patterns in the sky. These patterns are known as constellations. The skies around Earth have been divided into 88 different constellations, each one of which is supposed to represent a mythological person, creature or object. Constellation Facts: A constellation is a two-dimensional view of objects in three- dimensional space." "The Big Dipper, The Plough, in the United Kingdom is not a seperate constellation but is part of Ursa Major, the Great Bear." "Austrailian aboriginals have their own view of constellations- they see patterns in the dark spaces between stars." My favorite constellation is Orion. I think it's very interesting and it's always almost in the night sky. My favorite star lies in the constellation, Orion and it's name is Betelgeuse, sometimes pronounced 'Beetle-Juice'. (Just don't say it three times! ^_^) One idea when looking for your zodiac constellation that might help would be to look along the ecliptic (the path in the sky by the which the sun takes) and you will find all zodiac constellations. Not all zodiac constellations are visible at one time, though. Different ones are visible at varying months. I think that you find too that your zodiac constellation, that goes with your month of birth, may not be visible in the night sky. This is because of the way the zodiacs were created. People in Greece have a different viewpoint then us, therefore, your correct zodiac will show up in the sky during your month of birth, over Europe.
