The Night Sky

The Flash plugin is required to view this object.

Now is a good time to be looking at the night sky, especially if you are in Year 10 as that is what you are studying in Science lessons. If you go to the Sydney Observatory website you can download the October night sky map, as well as a Podcast that tells you what to look for.  Some obvious constellations that are visible are Scorpius (directly overhead) and the Southern Cross (funnily enough located towards the south). Jupiter and Venus are both visible this month. If you download the map you can use it to navigate the night sky. If you do this at home you should already have an idea of where north, south, east and west are – if not use a compass or ask your parents!

To get the moon phases for this month try the weather website.
