1. On the February sky map on the reverse side draw small circles around as many of the stars from your list of 16 brightest northern hemisphere stars as you can find, and write their names next to each star. (1 point for each correct star, but minus 1/2 point for each incorrectly labeled star.) Consult the stars on the planetarium dome for tonight to help you locate the stars.

2. On the dome we will display the stars, planets and Moon for the night of February 14 at 6 pm. Locate the Moon on your sky map. Draw a small image of what the Moon looks like on the dome showing: Its location with respect to the stars and what part is light and what part is dark. Label this with the date and time. We will then let time advance until 9 pm. For this new time again draw an image of the Moon showing: Its location with respect to the stars and what part is light and what part is dark. Label this second image with the later time.
