POPSHolmes Shakes Tail in Nightsky At this time, Comet Holmes doesn't appear to have a tail. Astronomers do not know if one will eventually become visible. You can follow Comet Holmes progress with the naked eye. It can be seen in the northeast evening sky. It is in the Perseus constellation. First face the North Star (Polaris) and locate the constellation Cassiopeia, which is at about 2 o'clock from Polaris. Perseus is at about 4 o'clock from Cassiopeia. In the Perseus constellation, find the brightest star, Mirfak. Mirfak is the top corner of a small triangle. Comet Holmes is the lower-left corner of the small triangle.

POPS'Village' for Astronomers set up in Georgia With 9 observatories, and a 10 acre hilltop observation field where amateur astronomers who don't want to buy land in the village, can pitch a tent, and set up telescopes. The basic rule is No white lights.The idea is in response to the urban sprawl, where the spread of bright lights, can make stargazing Impossible. In many cities, the city lights drown out the stars completely.

POPSNebra Disc: "Star Chart" Debate Revival The 3600-year-old Bronze Age artifact is one of the most spectacular findings for archaeoastronomy. Controversy continues on the function and the usage of the "star disc" but most scholars believe it was designed as a "celestial map" to mark the significant days in a year.

POPSSky Mapss One of the newsletters I still get comes from Skymaps.com. They send you a free link to download the current sky map so you can use it in your astronomy science courses. There are also great articles and opportunities to purchase even more materials to supplement your homeschool science. As long as you comply with their terms of use, you can distribute the sky maps in the classroom setting. We used these for a few years during our homeschooling experience and I highly recommend them to you!
