• Nov. 9, 2007 - Astronomy - Now where is that star?
Ever looked up into the sky and wondered where the big dipper was hiding? Sometimes looking at the stars I start thinking they all look alike. Or I wonder just what I should be looking at since I am in the city and surrounded by lampposts that wash out the night sky. Of course that also make it great for the kids to play in the front yard after dark. Especially now since it is dark at what 5 something. God created the heavens for the signs and the seasons, but sometimes in our modern world we forget to look up to the heavens. Sometimes we forget to ask our heavenly Father for our needs, wants, and desires. Now I am not saying that God is going to give you want you ask for, and He does know without being asked what those desires are floating in your head. But I know that sometimes I just like my kids to ask my for what they want. I think God is the same way, He like to be asked.
Of course I digressed. Back to ever wondering what that bright light in the heavens might be? Ever had a munchkin hanging on your leg awed by the sight of so many bright lights? Well have I got a website for you. night sky website
It will teach and then test how to find some of the more bright constellations in the night sky. And not just from one perspective but under different circumstances. Show your kids what the sky would have looked like hundreds of years ago without all our light pollution from city living. And compare it to how the sky looks in a typical city, while trying to find the constellation betelguise or the big dipper. Way cool. |
