I’m eager to dive into something I’ve always been interested in, which is astronomy! To tell you the truth, my grasp about astronomy right now is basic. I can only find the Bigger Dipper at night, when it is being shown, and I know the basic of the solar system, such as the planets, Sun and Earth. But, when it comes to galaxies, black holes, or the breathtaking pysics of the universe, I’m a beginner!
What I’m Learning 🔭
This week, I started
the basics of stargazing, I downloaded the app called “Night Sky,” which has helped me spit the Orion and Bigger Dupper. It’s much easier when you have something to guide you! I have watched some videos as well to help understand how stars are born and how they die. One of the things I learned is that a star’s life cycle really depends on the size (who knew!?)massive stars blow up as supernovae, while smaller stars like the Sun will become white dwarfs.
Resources that I used for this week 📚:
App: Night Sky
Video: Life Cycle of Stars
This is such a cool project! I myself can only spot the Big and Little Dipper’s. I tried to get into the astronomy class at university but the class was booked full. I hope I can learn from you! Good luck!
What a fun project! I have always had so much trouble finding the big dipper as a child and I still have trouble as an adult. I’d love to use the resources you use during your project to learn from as well! I can’t wait to see your progress!
