Constellation Pet Project
5. This portion of the assignment is to familiarize yourself with one of the constellations
in the sky. So pick a constellation that shows up in the menu as being visible for today.
Next, you will look up information in Wikipedia and Ian Ridpaths Star Tales (in App) to
write down information about this constellation as well as providing a quick sketch (or
image) of the Constellation Image with the Constellation Lines. (You will do this on the
next page, see image below for example.) You are welcome to paste an image if doing
this assignment electronically. If you are sketching the image, you will not be graded for
artistic ability; it should just be a fun sketch that should capture an idea of what the
image and lines of the constellation looks like; it does not need to be perfect but please
use a ruler for drawing the constellation lines!
This example is actually of two Constellations, you will only need to sketch and
summarize information for one.
