 Jupiter's Satellite
Tora didn't even need to use her Astreglobe to fine the brightest star in the sky. Sirius. She could spot it by finding the constellation, but honestly it was more fun to find the star first then draw the picture of the dog around it. She gazed upward, remembering that it came up in the south- east area (for this bit she did use her Astreglobe, but only as a compass) and it only took a minute for her to find the star. Now for some telescope action.
As always, she had carried her head out with a levitation spell, and now released it by setting it gently on the ground and whispering "Finite." She set it up and found Sirius in the finder scope bit before looking through the eyepiece to trim it. Even though Sirius was bright, she knew that it would still be just a blur in the microscope. Albeit, a very bright blur. It was too bad she couldn't actually see the true shape of the star with this power of microscope, maybe she could ask Professor Airey if she could borrow a stronger one sometime. Did Hogwarts even have stronger microscopes? Did it have an observatory? It certainly didn't have a planetarium, which Tora really wished it did. She should go ask Professor if they could build one later.... but for now she just looked up at the sky.
