Assignments #2b and #2c
Here’s the deal, guys - two assignments instead of one. Next week I’m going to be out of town and unable to have computer access of any kind, so I won’t be able to grade homework. So I’m posting the next two assignments instead of just one. But don’t worry; I’m going to be nice. I’m sure most of you by now are thinking, “Oh my God, we have to turn

What star, referred to as “one of the brightest spring stars” in Fun Facts, is located at the base of Leo’s head?: The star Regulus
Along with Aquila, what other two constellations have stars in the Summer Triangle? An additional three points will be added if you give me the names of the stars! The other two constellations are Cygnus and Lyra. The stars are Altair (in Aquila), Deneb (in Cygnus) and Vega (in Lyra).
What planetary nebula is found within Lyra? The Planetary Nebula M57, also known as the Ring Nebula.
What star cluster is found right next to the head of Cancer?: It's the Beehive Cluster.

All your pictures are fine, except for Leo...to be honest with you I really can't give you credit for that, because it wasn't anywhere near what I was looking for. Could you possibly site where you got it? Until then I can't give you credit for that picture.
I only wanted two descriptions, so I'll give you full credit since you did the extra three. They're all great!

Your picture of Ophichius is a tad suspect...I'll give you partial credit, though, you seem to have most of it. Other than that the pictures are perfect!

I can't give you very many points for Lyra, as it's not really very close to what I was looking for. Your Aquila is also incomplete, but I'll only deduct two points, as you have most of it.
10 points to each of your descriptions. Good job!

Your Leo wasn't entirely what I was looking for, so I'll deduct little points, as you seem to have it mostly. Other than that the pictures are great!
A total of 40 points for your descriptions!
The only Bonus Question you missed was the first one, I was actually looking for Regulus. Great job!
