GOALS Recognize lunar phases Compare and contrast the Moon's hourly, daily, and monthly motions in arc degrees/angular measures Determine local coordinate positions of objects (altitude and azimuth) at various times Analyze data and observations to predict lunar phase and position nightly and monthly Apply and share knowledge through documentation in a final lab report II. Over time, PlanetS will develop an extended library of such pedagogical activities by collaborating with interested teachers who will have the possibility to spend mini-sabbaticals with us to ensure a smooth interface between pedagogy and technology.Transcribed image text: Corresponding Resources Stellarium Software The Night Sky - Personal Observations of Night Labs I. Designed for school children and developed with the help of teachers, the goal of the project is to provide adapted, hands-on, pedagogical activities to use in the class room with actual astronomical observations being carried out automatically during the night. Timm Riesen, the Director of the Observatory, Stellarium Gornergrat is a remote-controlled facility located at the Gornergrat above Zermatt at 3100m altitude where the night sky rivals in beauty with the daytime mountain panorama dominated by the Matterhorn. After several years of development the facility developed in a collaboration between the University of Bern, Geneva, the Burgergemeinde Zermatt, and the High Alpine Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat, has just become operational!Īs you will read in the article by Dr. Today, I am particularly proud to introduce to you the latest project, the Stellarium Gornergrat. In a previous writing, I have already stressed the commitment by PlanetS to education and outreach and mentioned a few of our activities (exhibits, planetarium show, etc.) inviting you to check them out by yourself. Professor Willy Benz, Director of the NCCR PlanetS.
