Artifact investigation

Remember you are an astrologist trying to find out the mystery of the missing part of this artifact

Look closely: in the square where the sun is there are no stars, Why is that?

Can you see stars at the same time as the sun?

Tracking the Stars

• Which is the brightest?

• Are stars all the same distance from earth?

• Remember the sun is the only star in our solar system

Investigating the artifact

When can you see stars other than the sun?

Which stars are visible during the day?

Why are there no stars in the square part of the artifact where the sun is up?

What is the other part where the sun is not shown showing?

What are those dots?

Questions to think about

• If the stars are all around us, why can't we always see them?

• Why don't we see a lot of stars in the daytime?

• Do stars go away during the daytime?

Multiple Choice

Why can't we see the stars during the day time?

• because they disappear

• because they are on the other side of space

• because the sun is too bright

1. Which object looks clearer the lotion or the Starbucks bottle?

2. Which object is closer to earth?

3. LOOK at the picture on the right, Which one is bigger?

4. If they were stars which star would be brighter from earth?

Multiple Choice

True or false, the sun is brighter because it is the biggest star in space?

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

What happened in the video when there were very bright lights?

• the star pollution level went down because of the bright light

• we were not able to see as many stars because of the bright light

• the sky was filled with more stars because of the bright light

• the sky stayed the same because of the bright light

Moon Phases EXTRA

• The phases occur because the Sun lights different parts of the Moon as the Moon revolves around the Earth.

• That means the reason we see different phases of the Moon here on Earth is that we only see the parts of the Moon that are being lit up by the Sun.

• WE WILL NOT LEARN ABOUT MOON PHASES BUT JUST SOME INFORMATION
