Motions: Stargazing Postmortem

Explore the wonders of stargazing as we analyze the motions of celestial bodies. Join Monica as she ventures outside in the early evening in Rogers, AR, to observe the stars and constellations. We'll examine the orientation of the Moon's Tycho Crater and Mare Imbrium, the view of Jupiter, and discuss how directions (NSEW) affect our observation locations, whether at the Equator, Pole, or Middle Latitudes. Learn about the movement of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and predict its position in one hour. Discover the beauty of our night sky!

  1. Motions: Stargazing Postmortem

  2. Moon: Crater Tycho

  3. Moon: Mare Imbrium

  4. Jupiter

  5. Stellar Motion What Direction (NSEW) are we facing and where on Earth are we? (Equator, Pole, Middle Latitudes)

  6. Stellar Motion Monica goes outside in the early evening and and sees these stars from Rogers AR. What constellation is it? What will it look like in 8 hours?

  7. Stellar Motion The constellation moves about 15⁰ per hour. 8 hours * 15⁰ per hour = 135⁰ The constellation is above the western horizon. Why did it “flip”?

  8. Stellar Motion You see the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) in the northwest. You are in Rogers. In one hour, will it be higher or lower in the sky? Will it set?
