The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34° N latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south?(1 point)
No, the location of the stars in the sky is fixed
Yes, they will shift north.
Yes, they will shift south.
No, the motion of Earth cancels out with the motions of stars.
Yes, they will shift south.
What is the largest structure people have put into space
The largest structure that humans have put into space is the International Space Station (ISS). It is a habitable space station that serves as a research laboratory and living space for astronauts from various countries. The ISS has a mass of over 420,000 kilograms and its solar arrays span an area of about 2,500 square meters.
What is a difference between week 1 and week 3 of the moons cycle
A difference between week 1 and week 3 of the moon's cycle is the appearance of the moon in the sky. During week 1, which is also known as the new moon phase, the moon is not visible as it is located between the Earth and the Sun. There is no illumination of the moon's surface facing us, so it appears completely dark.
On the other hand, during week 3, which is the third quarter phase, the moon appears as a half-circle or a semi-circle in the sky. This is because the moon has moved further in its orbit around the Earth, and we can now see half of the moon's illuminated side. The other half remains in darkness.
During which weeks in the moons cycle does the moon appear to be getting smaller
The moon appears to be getting smaller in size during weeks 2 and 3 of the moon's cycle.
In week 2, the moon transitions from the new moon phase (week 1) to the first quarter phase. During this transition, a small sliver of the moon becomes visible, and the illuminated portion gradually increases. However, the overall size of the visible moon appears to be shrinking.
In week 3, the moon transitions from the first quarter phase to the third quarter phase. During this time, the illuminated portion of the moon gradually decreases, appearing as a shrinking half-circle or semi-circle in the sky. By the end of week 3, the moon will appear to be getting smaller until it reaches the new moon phase again in week 1.
What is a similarity between the phases of the moon in week 2 and week 4?
A similarity between the phases of the moon in week 2 and week 4 is that they both involve a half-illuminated moon.
In week 2, the moon transitions from the new moon phase to the first quarter phase. During this transition, a small sliver of the moon becomes visible, and the illuminated portion gradually increases, resulting in a half-moon phase.
In week 4, the moon transitions from the third quarter phase to the new moon phase. During this transition, the illuminated portion of the moon gradually decreases, resulting in another half-moon phase. However, this time, the half-moon is visible in the morning sky before sunrise, rather than the evening sky.
So, both week 2 and week 4 have a similar phase where half of the moon's surface facing us is illuminated, creating a half-moon appearance.
