Default Astronomy Lesson One : TBA



The nice April weather is a welcome change to the winter chill that has surrounded the high tower for months. The charms to keep it away from the space have been tuned down thanks to the appearance of full spring. The night sky outside the windows darkened with the occasional grey cloud but thankfully its not much a deterrent for tonight's class.

Upon entering the astronomy classroom for this evening’s lesson, the circular room near the top of the tower resembles how it usually looks. The only difference is a series of charmed pictures of the night sky that are placed occasionally along the stone walls. If you look at one long enough, you might notice what at first looks like the streak of a meteor moving across them much like what was seen during the meteor shower activities held earlier in the year, but the eagle-eyed might notice a difference. Also on the professor’s desk lay a few covered boxes containing what might be needed for the lesson.

No peeking as Professor Gert is in the classroom, standing between her desk and the door to greet students as they enter. But don't worry, you likely wont be waiting long to find out what the curly haired woman has in store. Soft hoots occasionally heard from the rafters above alert you to the presence of her familiar whose decided to visit for the moment.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Brandon stuck the dowel(handle?) into the sphere, and deftly tied on his ribbons. That was the easy part. This was the hard part. Glacius. He practiced the wand movement, which felt complicated, and repeated the word glacius several times. Even after practicing, it took him a while to cast the spell right and two tries to fully encase it in white. "Glacius. Glacius? Glacius. Glacius. Glacius." There. He looked around to see how other people were doing, and was relieved when he wasn't the last person to finish.

Brandon stood, moving to the side of the room. Were they going to walk in circles? That's where he thought this was going. "Um... I think comets have tails because the sun vaporizes part of the comet and that part trails behind the comet." He hesitated. "Is that the same as what Jude said?"
