Constellations, Asterisms, and the North Star: Join me for a virtual planetarium show to learn constellations
Class experience
Students will leave this class knowing more about the night sky than many adults.

Students will learn the names, locations, and information about the circumpolar constellations plus a few others. They will also learn ways to find them in the sky.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

We will be using Stellarium as our virtual planetarium. It is a free program that parents can use online or download. The students will not need access to it for the show but many students might want their parents to get it after the show.
