Astro 293 - Lab 1 Updates

• Questions 7 and 12 have been slightly modified, as follows:
  • Question 7 On what date did you make the observation? Which two stars did you observe? At what local time and Universal time did the first star in the pair transit? (If you didn't observe transit, calculcate it from what you have already determined in 4.1.).

  • Question 12 The distance to the Moon is 3.8 x 10⁵ km. What is your mean and error in km, for the size of the Moon?

• Meter sticks are now available; come to my office to pick one up if needed.
