Star Hike
|
|
Preliminary: Make this a part of a late afternoon and evening hike. Date may be set in advance for Star Hike, or star study may be undertaken When occasion presents itself. In first instance it may be combined with visit to local observatory, or private owner of telescope. For beginners, a night lighted by a moon in its first or last quarter is best. At such time all smaller stars and the milky way disappear, thus emphasizing the stars which make up the constellations. Execution: Focus flashlight into a strong, narrow beam and use this for a pointer. Starting with the Big Dipper and the Polar Star, point out the main constellations in a natural, progressive manner. Make explanations short and snappy. Have a pointing contest with every Scout pointing out constellations as requested. Who knows most? Which constellation is most helpful? See Also: |
