Planetarium

This is just too cool of a website to wait until we get to the Astronomy unit.  The Neave Planetarium lets you look at any modern constellation (there are 88 of them) by entering in your coordinates, date, and time.  The coordinates for good ole' Longmont are Latitude: 40° North, Longitude: 105° West.

Another cool feature of the site is moon phases and planet positions for any given date and time.  Have fun with it.  Get outside and find the same constellations in the sky!  Venus is especially bright in the early evening in the Southwestern part of the sky.
