Globe at Night - Get Out and Count!
Can You See the Stars?
The
classic GLOBE at Night program directs students, families, and the general public how to observe and record the number of
stars visible in the constellation Orion, as seen from different locations. Observers report their results online by comparing
their view of Orion with a set of template images on the program’s Web site, which shows the number of stars in the
constellation for a range of visibilities from bright skies to very dark.
