3-D Constellation Kit - 1 labExplore the stars of the Big Dipper and Orion! These photographic plates-six different views of the celestial sphere-were taken with a telescope that has a focal length of 22 inches so they
should be viewed from 22 inches away to appear the same size as they look in the sky. Fluorescent orange beads are strung to the plates at their proper distance to simulate the stars, demonstrating to students that not all of the stars in a constellation are the same distance from earth. Constellations include Orion,
Ursa Major, Taurus, Cassiopeia, Gemini, and Sagittarius. From one to six students can simultaneously complete one portion of the sky (each using one plate).Our Price: $28.00
