Navigating the Stars
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - by Outer Beaches Staff
Join us at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island for an investigation of those celestial bodies that enthrall us all. The evening will begin by viewing constellations from the comfort of the indoors on the Science on a Sphere®, a 68-inch diameter globe with projected images of the sun, stars, and planets. We will also discuss celestial navigation, the technique mariner's have practiced for centuries to travel the globe. Learn about the tools used and try your hand at measuring with a cross-staff and sextant. Come nightfall, we will go outside to observe the stars in all their glory, picking out constellations, planets, and galaxies. Afterwards, we will gather around a fire and listen to stories inspired by the stars, all while roasting marshmallows. The program is free to the public, ages 6 and up. Pre-registration is required by February 23 and space is limited. Event held on February 24th. http://www.ncaquariums.com/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?month=2&calendar=ri&view=Event&event_id=1740
