KOTO from Japan to you

Enjoy the journey

【Learning】The Summer Triangle (夏の大三角) Altair(アルタイル), Vega(ベガ), and Deneb(デネブ),

This summer,

 

my teenage daughter was assigned a homework by her science teacher

and here's what she had to:

 

1. Choose  a  big park in the neighborhood  where you can have wide view of the sky 

2. Pick a place in the park where you can sit down and observe the stars

3. Go to that point  three times, around 7 o'clock,  9 o'clock, and 11 o'clock in the evening

and observe the sky and make a sketch note of the stars.

 

It would be a wonderful experience,

but  we live in the city part in Japan,

it is not the safest  place. 

 

So I decided to enjoy  star gazing with her.

 

It was early August ,  and the sky was clear that night.

Although I had also learned in school,  I have  never  looked up at the sky and observed.

 

We saw Altair(アルタイル), Vega(ベガ), and Deneb(デネブ), the Summer Triangle  in the east sky at about 7:30pm,  and they gradually moved up and up. It was a beautiful and dramatic sight.

 

I am so happy that I could share those beautiful moments with my daughter.

 

Thank you for reading♪
