Star Gazing (Astronomy)

[Margarette Woodlock]

Margarette and the other students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuf followed Professor Merrythought for star gazing. Margarette saw a girl sitting by herself in the tower so she said, "Hello there, would you like to be partners with me?", and waited for the girl's reply.

 

[Nerissa Quirante]

Nerissa had always been quiet for some time now during class. During Astronomy, She followed the other students to the North Tower. She sat there quietly. Suddenly a girl approached her and asked her to be her partner. Nerissa nodded.

 

[Margarette Woodlock]

Margarette was glad that she now had a partner. She showed Nerissa the Hufflepuff girl to the telescope she had set up. They both looked at the telescope one by one. Margarette found the Polaris and during her next turns was some cute stars. She took notes on all of them. After class she went to the common room to take a sleep.

Polaris​

Polaris found in UMi or Ursae Minoris or Alpha Ursae Minoris commonly known as North(ern) Star or Pole Star, or Dhruva Tara and sometimes Lodestar

Ursa Major​

Ursa Major (Latin: "Larger Bear"), also known as the Great Bear, is a constellation visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. It is dominated by the widely recognized asterism known as the Big Dipper or Plough, which is a useful pointer toward north, and which has mythological significance in numerous world cultures.

Ursa Minor​

Ursa Minor (Latin: "Smaller Bear", contrasting with Ursa Major), also known as the Little Bear, is a constellation in the northern sky. Like the Great Bear, the tail of the Little Bear may also be seen as the handle of a ladle, whence the name Little Dipper. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Ursa Minor is notable as the location of the north celestial pole, although this will change after some centuries due to the precession of the equinoxes.[1]
