Planisphere Questions Name Planisphere Questions Name: Tonight: Set the date and time for tonight, about 10:00 P.M. 1. Name three constellations you may easily view. Jan 7: Perseus, Taurus, Eridanus, Cetus, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Pisces, Aries, Pegasus, Aquarius, Delphinius, Cepheus, Cygnus, Draco, Lyra, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, Cancer, Canis Minor, Auriga, Canis Major, Orion, Lepus. Others are visible, but near the horizon which may be blocked by trees or buildings. 2. Name a constellation that is just rising in the sky, and one that is just setting in the sky. Leo, Hydra, Canis Major, Canis Minor… Setting: Aquarius, Lyra, Delphinius, Cygnus… 3. Name another month, day and time at which you may view this same positioning of the stars. Sep 10 at 4 AM; Sep 25 at 3 AM; Oct 9 at 2 AM; Oct 24 at 1 AM; Nov 8 at midnight, and other dates/times… 4. Name a star or constellation closest to the center of your viewing window. This point represents the zenith; the zenith is the point in the sky that appears directly overhead. Perseus, Aries (also acceptable: Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Auriga…) SUMMER: Set the date and time dials for approximately 6 months from now, July 15, 10:00 P.M. (It gets darker earlier in winter.) 5. Name three constellations you may easily view. Ursa Minor, Draco, Hercules, Lyra, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Corona Borealis, Bootes, Libra, Virgo, Ursa Major, Coma Berenices, Leo?, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Cepheus, Cygnus, Delphinius, Pegasus, Aquarius, Capricornus, Aquila. Others are visible, but near the horizon which may be blocked by trees or buildings. 6. Name a constellation that is just rising in the sky, and one that is just setting in the sky. Rising: Pisces, Pegasus, Aquarius, Capricornus… Setting: Virog, Corvus, Leo, Cancer…. 7. Name another month, day and time at which you may view this same positioning of the stars. June 29 at 11 PM; June 14 at midnight; May 29 at 1 AM; May 15 at 2 AM; several answers possible 8. Name a star or constellation closest to the center of your viewing window. This point represents the zenith; the zenith is the point in the sky that appears directly overhead. Draco (also acceptable: Lyra, Hercules) When You Were Born: Set the planisphere dials accordingly. 9. Use the planisphere to find a star or constellation that was near the zenith when you were born. Ashley’s birthday, for example: Apr. 22, midnight: Ursa Major 10. Name three stars or constellations that were on the meridian when you were born. The meridian is an imaginary line running north to south; it divides the half of the sky that is “rising” from the half of the sky that is “setting.” The meridian is also the highest point of our sky that a celestial object will reach during the night. Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor, Draco, Bootes (Arcturus), Virgo, and pieces of other constellations Polaris: 11. This star is part of which constellation? Ursa Minor 12. As you move the planisphere to different dates and times, what do you notice about the location of Polaris in the sky? It remains in pretty much the same spot. (Exactly the same on this planisphere; in reality, it shifts only slightly. If you take a picture of the sky and leave the camera shutter open, then the light of the stars as they move will leave a “trail” on the image. The image of Polaris is at the center of the circular trails; it looks like just a small dash.) 13. If you were at the north pole, where in the sky would you find this star? Directly overhead; at the zenith 14. If you were at the equator, where in the sky would you find this star? On the horizon; difficult to actually see, since any small tree or obstruction would probably block the view of the horizon Circumpolar stars and constellations: 15. Name three constellations that are always above the horizon (they never rise or set). Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Perseus (partial), Auriga (partial). Pers., Aur., Andromeda, and Cygnus are not typically considered circumpolar 16. What do you think circumpolar means? Making a circle around the pole star The zodiac and the ecliptic: 17. Notice the astrological-sign constellations of the zodiac on your planisphere. These occur along a curve on the map, part of an imaginary circle called the ecliptic. Name four constellations on the ecliptic. Aquarius, Capricornus, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Ophiuchus, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces 18. What does the ecliptic represent in space? The ecliptic represents that area of space which is in the same plane as our solar system. The orbits of the 8 planets around the Sun describe a plane, and if that plane extends outward to the stars we can see, then the stars of the zodiac constellations intersect the plane. There is an illustration in the text, p. 22, of this concept. Finally: 19. Name two constellations that are visible at 10:00 P.M. tonight, but not at 2:00 A.M. tomorrow morning. Hint: look on the western horizon, since that’s where constellations will be setting/disappearing as tonight turns into tomorrow morning. Pisces, Cetus, Eridanus (mostly), Pegasus, Cygnus (Deneb) In the month of January, 2016, these planets will be visible in the following areas of the sky: Venus: Scorpius Mars: Virgo Jupiter: Leo Saturn: Ophiuchus The Sun will be in the constellation Sagittarius from about Dec. 18 – Jan. 18. .

Giovanni in Laterano (entrambe le foto sono di Daniela Velestino). Collana diretta da Rosalma Salina Borello e Luca Nicotra Prima edizione: maggio 2010 Universitalia INTRODUZIONE Introduzione Costantino Sigismondi L’edizione del convegno gerbertiano del 2009, in pieno anno internazionale dell’astronomia, si è tenuta nella Basilica di S. Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri il 12 maggio, e a Seoul presso l’università Sejong l’11 giugno 2009. La scelta della Basilica è dovuta alla presenza della grande meridiana voluta dal papa Clemente XI Albani nel 1700, che ancora funziona e consente di fare misure di valore astrometrico. Il titolo di questi atti, ORBE NOVUS, è preso, come i precedenti, dall’epitaffio tombale di Silvestro II in Laterano, e vuole suggerire il legame con il “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” di Copernico, sebbene il contesto in cui queste parole sono tratte vuole inquadrare Gerberto nel suo ministero petrino come il nuovo pastore per tutto il mondo: UT FIERET PASTOR TOTO ORBE NOVVS. Elizabeth Cavicchi del Massachussets Institute of Technology, ha riflettuto sulle esperienze di ottica geometrica fatte da Gerberto con i tubi, nel contesto contemporaneo dello sviluppo dell’ottica nel mondo arabo con cui Gerberto era stato in contatto.

Robles Macías* The longitude of the Mediterranean throughout history: facts, myths and surprises Keywords: History of longitude; cartographic errors; comparative studies of maps; tables of geographical coordinates; old maps of the Mediterranean Summary: Our survey of pre-1750 cartographic works reveals a rich and complex evolution of the longitude of the Mediterranean (LongMed). While confirming several previously docu- mented trends − e.g. the adoption of erroneous Ptolemaic longitudes by 15th and 16th-century European cartographers, or the striking accuracy of Arabic-language tables of coordinates−, we have observed accurate LongMed values largely unnoticed by historians in 16th-century maps and noted that widely diverging LongMed values coexisted up to 1750, sometimes even within the works of one same author.

  • Star Wheel Questions Set the Star Wheel for 9Pm on November 1St
    Star Wheel Questions Set the star wheel for 9pm on November 1st. the edges of the star window are where the sky meets the ground. This is called the horizon. 1. What constellation is near the northern horizon? (Ursa Major, Bootes) 2. What constellation is near the eastern horizon? (Orion, Eridanus) The center of the star wheel is the top of the sky, over your head. 3. Name two constellations that are near the top of the sky. (Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Andromeda) On the star wheel, bigger stars appear brighter in the sky. 4. Which constellation would be easier to see because it has more bright stars: Cassiopeia or Cepheus? (Cassiopeia) 5. Planets are not shown on the star wheel. Why not? (because they change positions over time) Now set the star wheel for midnight on March 15. 6. Where in the sky would you look to see Canis Major? (near the western horizon) 7. Look toward the east. What constellation is about halfway between the horizon and the top of the sky in the east? (Corona Borealis (best answer) also Hercules, Bootes) The lines connecting the stars give us an idea about which stars belong to a constellation, and offer a pattern for us to look for in the sky. Each star pattern is supposed to represent a person, object or animal. For instance, Leo is supposed to be a lion. You also may have noticed that some constellations are bigger than others. 8. What constellation in the southern sky is the largest? (Hydra) 9. What is a small constellation in the southern sky? (Corvus, Canis Minor) 10.

The Earth’s axis is the imaginary line • Text size can be increased in running between the north and south poles. The Earth’s movement means that the Preferences section our view of the sky changes over time. As the Earth rotates the positions of the constellations will change. Many constellations rise over the horizon, move across • Star numbers can be reduced the sky and set. However, some constellations do not rise and set and are visible by sliding two fingers down throughout the night. These are known as thecircumpolar constellations. the screen In the northern hemisphere, the starPolaris in the constellation of Ursa Minor is located in space almost exactly above the Earth’s North Pole. This means that Polaris does not seem to move as it is so close to the sky’s centre of rotation. For this reason Polaris is also known as the Pole Star or North Star. The circumpolar constellations are all located around Polaris in the sky. Different constellations will be circumpolar depending on your location but if you live in the northern hemisphere examples include Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Draco, Cepheus and Camelopardalis.

  • Stellarium for Cultural Astronomy Research
    RESEARCH The Simulated Sky: Stellarium for Cultural Astronomy Research Georg Zotti Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Susanne M. Hoffmann Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Michael-Stifel-Center/ Institut für Informatik and Physikalisch- Astronomische Fakultät, Jena, Germany [email protected] Alexander Wolf Altai State Pedagogical University, Barnaul, Russia [email protected] Fabien Chéreau Stellarium Labs, Toulouse, France [email protected] Guillaume Chéreau Noctua Software, Hong Kong [email protected] Abstract: For centuries, the rich nocturnal environment of the starry sky could be modelled only by analogue tools such as paper planispheres, atlases, globes and numerical tables. The immer- sive sky simulator of the twentieth century, the optomechanical planetarium, provided new ways for representing and teaching about the sky, but the high construction and running costs meant that they have not become common. However, in recent decades, “desktop planetarium programs” running on personal computers have gained wide attention. Modern incarnations are immensely versatile tools, mostly targeted towards the community of amateur astronomers and for knowledge transfer in transdisciplinary research. Cultural astronomers also value the possibili- ties they give of simulating the skies of past times or other cultures. With this paper, we provide JSA 6.2 (2020) 221–258 ISSN (print) 2055-348X https://doi.org/10.1558/jsa.17822 ISSN (online) 2055-3498 222 Georg Zotti et al. an extended presentation of the open-source project Stellarium, which in the last few years has been enriched with capabilities for cultural astronomy research not found in similar, commercial alternatives.

  • ASTR 101L Astronomical Motions I: the Night Sky (Spring)
    ASTR 101L Astronomical Motions I: The Night Sky (Spring) Early Greek observers viewed the sky as a transparent sphere which surrounded the Earth. They divided the stars into six categories of brightness and arranged the stars into groupings called constellations (as did many other cultures). Most of the names of the eighty-eight constellations we use today are based on Greek mythology and their Latin translations. Modern astronomy uses the constellation designations to map the sky. On skymaps, the size of the dot is usually related to the brightness of the object (look on your planisphere). Most only show the brightest stars. They are typically named from brightest to faintest using a letter from the Greek alphabet (α, β, γ, etc.) and the constellation name in the genitive form; e.g. alpha (α) Cygni is the brightest star in Cygnus. Many stars also have Arabic names such as Betelgeuse, Algol, and Arcturus; α Cygni is named Deneb and α Ursa Minoris is more commonly known as Polaris. Either designation is correct. In the exercise “Angles and Parallax,” you made a cross-staff and quadrant and learned how to use them to measure objects inside. Now we will use them to measure objects in the night sky, much like Tycho Brahe did in the 1500’s. Remember to record the date, time, and conditions when making any astronomical observations! All numerical data should be recorded to one decimal place. Objectives: . Measure angular separations and altitudes of objects in the night sky with instruments . Estimate angular separations and altitudes of objects in the night sky with your hands .

  • Build Your Own Planisphere
    Make your own planisphere Dominic Ford 2014{2021 A planisphere is a simple hand-held device which shows a map of which stars are visible in the night sky at any particular time. By rotating a wheel, it shows how stars move across the sky through the night, and how different constellations are visible at different times of year. Here, I present a kit which you can download and print to make your own planisphere out of paper or cardboard. The design of a planisphere depends on the geographic location where it is to be used, since different stars are visible from different places. I have created kits for use at a wide range of latitudes, which you can download from https://in-the-sky.org/planisphere/ The planisphere presented in this document is designed for use at a latitude of 35◦N . What you need • Two sheets of A4 paper, or preferably thin card. • Scissors. • A split-pin fastener. • Optional: one sheet of transparent plastic, e.g. acetate designed for use with overhead projectors. • Optional: A little glue. Assembly instructions Step 1 { Planispheres look slightly different depending on where you live. The planisphere prepared in this document is designed for use anywhere on Earth which is within a few degrees of latitude 35◦N . If you live elsewhere, you should download an alternative kit from https://in-the-sky.org/planisphere/ Step 2 { Print the pages at the back of this PDF file, showing the star wheel and the body of the planisphere, onto two separate sheets of paper, or more preferably onto thin card.
