The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This activity's objective is for students to estimate the magnitude of Zeta Gem, a cepheid variable in the constellation Gemini, over a thirty day period in order to construct a light curve. This activity also allows students to become familiar viewing winter stars and constellations in the night sky.
