You then draw a line from the fainter star to the brighter star with your eyes and keep going until you see another bright star and you have found the North Star." It was a nice little trick to know to be sure. "Often times, Mercury is located near another planet in the sky, one that reflects more light than itself. So, you find that planet and you can find Mercury." O_________o
Aiden practically gagged throughout Kurumi's explanation. She feels like her brain has stopped functioning and is going to melt soon. She stares outside the window for a while, interpreting the information given to her before turning back to the Gryffindor prefect. "You mean that I've to form a virtual line from Merak to Dubhe first, then I'll find the Polaris?" That part isn't so difficult for her. "After I find the Polaris, is there any other planet I've to discover?" asked the young Slytherin with one hand holding the smaller end of her telescope. |
