loe Johnson and Simpson. Stellarium is a simple and easy w to look at the stars. It is a way being able to search the sky planets without going into Sp yourself. You can find constellati and planets as well as many ot Space features. llarium is a fantastic software t allows you to look at the stars d sky. This program is a realistic, Planetarium. It is great for ding constellations and planets. It imple and easy to use and can be essed and used by anyone und the world. Experienced and xperienced astronomers can look and use this program to search sky rather than having to use a escope or binoculars. Keep repeating this process, changing the year by 5000 every time and marking the position. You will now see a circular sha around which the sky rotates Press the fastforward button and see at which point the sky rotates. Now mark the point of rotation. Some of the functions of Stellar are being able to bring constellation art, eg: Ursa Ma also known as the Great Bear. Stellarium can also fast forwa or go back in time – eg: 500 years – and show what positio the stars were or are going to b in. Now mark the position of the star. Now change the date to 5000 years ago and you will see that the stars wi You need a star chart to be able to do this activity. First find the North Star at present day. Load up Stellarium. Pause time using the time and date button (It doesn’t matter what time it is.) Drag screen so that north (N) is clearly in view, click on the cloud so screen goes dark. Look for constellation The Big Dipper / Ursa Major which looks like a spoon. Find the constellation Cassiopeia, which is shaped like a w, remembering where The Big Dipper is. Adjacent to Cassiopeia and Th Big Dipper directl in the centre is th North Star. Stars and constellations of the northern hemisphere Mark the point of rotation with a dot for each time setting.
