Exploring Circumpolar Stars Using Starry Night Pro


Consider the following as possible options for assessment.

  • Polaris, the North Star, has been used by sailors for centuries to help them navigate the seas by determining their latitude. How would you use the position of Polaris to find your latitude?

  • Design and build a model that can illustrate the apparent motion of the stars as you observed them in Starry Night.

  • Create and perform a skit that can demonstrate the different views of the night sky for viewers in different geographical locations. Use props, posters, etc., that can support your explanation.
