Reach for the Stars B

-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Right then, I'll copy/paste this here, since it's more relevant:

I'll have an answer key up eventually, once I triple-check everything and verify answers with my guinea p- er, willing helper.
Feel free to PM me with any specific questions, comments, concerns, corrections, complaints, etc.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Reach for the Stars is an event dealing with stellar astronomy. In one part of it, you have to be able to identify constellations and individual stars given a star map or a planetarium projection. Then, there will be other questions relating to stellar classifications, stellar evolution, H-R Diagrams, and other such things. That's basically the gist of it.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Too bad i cant do this event, I am best at meteorology and it is at the same time as this event, since my state follows the national schedule

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Meteorology and Stars DON'T conflict on the National Schedule. Stars, Forestry and Crime Busters conflict. Meteorology, Experimental Design and Aquifers also conflict. http://www.scienceolympiad2012.com/schedule.htmJKrafsur wrote:Too bad i cant do this event, I am best at meteorology and it is at the same time as this event, since my state follows the national schedule

Re: Reach for the Stars B
This event is basically knowing Major Stars,constellations, variable stars, and stellar evolution. It is a very fun event I did it in 2009 and got 8th at nats and I can't wait for it to start again!!XJcwolfyX wrote:I am considering this event. Any tips?

Re: Reach for the Stars B
When someone shows a constellation without connecting the stars, how do you know what it is? And what is stellar evolution and what are variable stars.
