Project: Exploring the Night Sky Introduction From what we have learned about the Universe the celestial sphere and the constellations, your homework will be to explore the night sky – over the next 7 days. You will take a short virtual survey of the October/November night sky off the Hubble web site. You will also create a Google Apps Document that you will share with your instructor. To complete the project you need to observe the night sky and carefully record at least five night time star recordings – weather permitting. Process - Preparation • • • • • •
