Lab #2
This lab has three parts: I. Introduction to Stellarium (15 points) II.Reason of Seasons (25 points) III.Formation of Planets in Our Solar System (20 points) You need the software Stellarium
to finish this lab. You can download it from https://stellarium.org/ to your laptop. The due date of this lab is March 16th (Thursday), 2023
. You can finish most part of the report with handwriting and sketches (Note: Illegible handwriting or sketches to me would be scored zero). But some questions require TYPED
answers. Print out your answers and attach them to the report. Submit your report to the instructor.

) 1.
Install and launch the program Stellarium (
https://stellarium.org/
). •
The program has two navigation panels which appear when you mouse over: one on the left and another at the bottom of the screen. •
There are also several hotkeys which turn on an off certain features. You can find a list of these in the Appendix of this document. 2.
From the left panel, select the Location Window (F6) and search for Columbia, MO in the search bar (the one with the magnifying glass). Ensure that the red arrow on the world map moves to Columbia. Click the box to make this your default location. 3.
Let's begin by pretending the Earth does not have an atmosphere so that we can see the stars even during the day. To do this, click "A" to turn off/on the atmosphere. 4.
Orient your view to the East and observe how the stars move with respect to your horizon. You will want to speed time up slightly. To do this, click "L"
twice
. (You can return to normal speed at any time by hitting the "K" key.) 5.
Describe the motion you observe as well as make a simple sketch (arrows) which indicate how the stars move for each cardinal direction. —— 4

While oriented North, find Polaris (The North Star), it should not be moving like all the other stars. Draw it on your sketch. In Stellarium, select Polaris. This will bring up lots of information about the star in the upper left of your screen. Find the data entry labeled: "Az/Alt". This is the azimuth (direction) and altitude of Polaris. Record the altitude below. —— 1
point
Altitude of Polaris: _____________________ Latitude of Columbia, MO: _________________
Determine the latitude of Columbia, MO as well and compare the two numbers. They should match within a degree of each other. This will hold true for any location in the northern hemisphere and historically a very useful navigational tool. 7.
Orient yourself away from north in any direction and select a star at random. In the chart below record its altitude and azimuth every hour
for 5 hours. Do not use the fast forward time button this time. Instead, advance time incrementally by one hour at a time. To do this, open the clock (F5) and click the small arrow above the hour position. (Note that the clock is in 24h format) —— 2.5 points

Create a graph of your altitude and azimuth in the space provided below. The y-axis should be altitude and the x-axis should be azimuth. You may scale this graph however it is convenient; in other words your altitude axis range does not have to start at 0 and go to 90 -- keep your ranges near your values. You may alternatively use Excel to plot your data if you know how.
—— 2.5 points

Where would you expect to see the star 24 hours later from your first measurement? —— 1 point

10. Why do stars appear to rise in the east, move across the sky, and set in the west every day? —— 1 point

How has the movement of the stars changed? If they look very similar, what about your chosen location could be the reason for that?
