Assignment

Night Sky Observations

In Your Journal: You will observe the night sky and record what you see.

You can take a picture each night with your phone or camera and then on a piece of paper write down observations.  For example- I see a bright star in the top right corner of the picture.  I see a group of small stars in the middle.  Just make sure you go out at the same time each night and stand facing the same direction. Save your observations because you will be doing this multiple nights so you can compare.
