A Sky Spectacular

This nights are warm and clear, and darkness falls relatively early. This is an ideal combination for star gazing, especially if you can also see four planets from our solar system at the same time.


Tomislav Golubić, a relative of one of our students, brought a telescope to our school so that we could observe the Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Mars.
In the Western sky you can see two very bright ''stars“. In fact, those are planets: Venus (the clearest object in the sky) and Jupiter. Venus has been visible for a few weeks now, and sets inter and later so that we can study it. It is impossible to miss since it is so bright.

If you now turn to the East, you see one ''star“ is reddish and it doesn't twinkle. At the same time, if we take a closer look, even with the naked eye, we can see that it doesn't shine ''on all sides“ like a light, but it has a clearly defined rim – it is lit up by another light source. No, it isn't a star, it is planet Mars.



The reactions were mixed. The Geography teacher had the impression that from first hand sources, the students thought that what they learned in the classroom was one thing while real life was another. However, this evening's star gazing has bridged the gap between ''the classroom'' and ''real life'' and brought the two a little closer together.

In the end the students tied theory to experience and were able to draw the Big Dipper, Orion and Kasiopea's constellation – but about start, that's for another time.
