The Observatory is as it always is, despite the later hour. Scheduling conflicts were responsible for that, along with the fact that Simran did not want to hold her seminar lessons on a weekend. Students needed their days off, and more importantly, she had earned her days off and did not want to teach on a Saturday when she could be taking tea.

The November chill doesn't quite bite here, thanks to the charms Simran had carefully set around the place. All the same, she is not dressed in a saree today, but in something rather warmer, an old red-and-gold scarf wrapped around her mouth and nose as she waits for your arrival.

Have you brought your telescopes?

OOC: The lesson has begun, so please no longer post your character arriving unless you wish for them to receive IC consequences (such as points loss). Simply pretend they were there all along!

LESSON PROGRESSION:
Question 1: As we know, Astronomy deals with a great deal of Muggle science, but what are its applications within magic?
Question 2: How do most magicians keep track of celestial movements, and how do we avoid unwanted effects on the magic we perform?
Main Activity: Map the night sky, using your hands to measure distance!
