Activity 1:
Living Star Wheel
Why do stars
appear to move in
the sky?
Because Earth rotates on its axis, thus
the stars appear to move across the
night sky from east to west, and the
sun seems to rise in the east and set
in the west.
Polaris is the North star because it is
located close to the north celestial
pole. Stars that are around a celestial
pole are called circumpolar stars
forming recognizable patterns known
as circumpolar constellations.
The circumpolar stars remain in the
night sky and stay visible all year
from the northern hemisphere. All
stars observed from the equator are
not circumpolar for it appears to rise
in the east and set in the west.
What are the stars
we will find in the
north and south
pole?”
The northern circumpolar
constellations are Ursa Major, Ursa
Minor, Cassiopeia, and Draco. The
southern circumpolar constellations
are Carina, Centaurus, and Crux
Why do we see different
constellations at different times
of the year? Kindly read the
answer”
This is because the Earth orbits around
the sun from west to east making the star
seems to rise in the east and set in the
west. The rotation of the Earth on its axis
causes the observed movement of the
stars in the night sky while the revolution
allows the observer to see a certain part
of the sky at different months of the
year.”
Different constellations
that are present in
each month
Balatik constellations: only appear in
December. It was used by the tribal
hunters in the country to foretell the
coming of kaingin period and time for
planting while other tribes used the
constellation as a reminder of the time of
sacrifices. The Moroporo was used for
sea navigation and to signal the
beginning of the planting season.
