Spacecrafts bound for alien planets, asteroids or comets fascinate as much as the possibilities to look into far-away galaxies or for exoplanets with large telescopes. Students like to listen and discuss at length if told about the universe.

	But how good is the own knowledge about the starry sky? The presented learn-trail guides you to the visible area of the surrounding cosmos.

The goal of this class is orientation in the sky and knowledge of different objects in the universe. 
	An interesting element of this scenario is the work with scientific data. Before starting into this scenario the students should already have heard about and know the importance of the Herzsprung-Russel diagram (HRD) for astronomy.
