Today, along with checking in on Learning and Reading Logs (keep up the good work, everyone!), we took a little look at constellations, which are an important part of the storyline of Underground to Canada, and to the escape of slaves in general.
After examining where and how the Little Dipper/Plough looks in the night sky at the moment, and where the North Star (Polaris) is from there, we learned that what we see in the sky when we think we're looking at the North Star is actually three stars!
We then looked at the first part of this documentary (History Channel), which we found rather challenging at first, and learned a little more about Polaris and how we see stars in the sky. What interesting fact did you write down?
