* If you are presenting Constellations Tonight in the southern
hemisphere,
you will have to modify the show script as follows:
- In the Sky Map activity, where the
script says
"...let's use the map to find the Little Dipper..."
we
suggest you say instead
"...let's use the map to find the Southern Cross
(or Crux)...."
- Then change all references to"Ursa Minor," "North,"
and "northern" to
"Southern Cross (Crux)," "South," and "southern"
respectively.
- In the "Motion of the Stars" activity, change
references to Big Dipper, Polaris, and North Star to Southern cross.
You can mention the North Star as being a star that never moves in the
northern hemisphere, but there is no equivalent bright star that never
moves in the southern hemisphere. You can instead describe a method of
finding the south celestial pole using the Southern Cross (Crux).
- Finally, you'll need images and stories to go with southern
constellations to replace "Versions of the Big Dipper" as optional
section of the show.
