Young Scientists Club: Star Pilot

How the Star Pilot Device Works:

As you can see in the picture, the Star Pilot Device (used for the binocular fusion experiment) is held up to your eye while you look at the nights sky. Inside the Star Pilot, there is a red light, which you can adjust with a dimmer switch. The red light illuminated a celestial sphere "track ball" mounted in the end of the device.

Spinning the ball, you can see diagrams of constellations which are printed on the celestial track ball. Looking into the night sky with BOTH EYES OPEN enables you to superimpose the diagram over the REAL STARS in the sky, making identification of the Constellations much easier and a lot more fun. This is a very cleverly designed device and is fun to use!

From the Manufacturer:
