Take a look at the sky maps tool you were given on day 1.
1) For January, which star will appear to be the highest in the night sky?
2) Which constellation is closest to the Southern horizon?
3) Why is this sky map flat when the celestial sphere is curved? What difficulties does this present?
4) What constellation will the Sun be kissing in April? What does this mean to astrologers, astronomers, and/or night sky viewers?
5) Which way is the earth rotating? How long does it take the Sun to "kiss" each of the ecliptic constellations?
6) When the Sun is "kissing" the constellation, what part(s) of the night sky will the other zodiac constellations be located in?
