Encouraged by Tessa's praise, Lux was even more determined to find some stars than she had been before. Moving away from her telescope to consult her textbook, she heard Bay say he was leaving; that sucked. Smiling, she waved by to him. "See you later, Bay." She herself was not going to leave until she finished all the star gazing she hoped to do.
Tessa and Sander were leaving too? "Wait for me! I want to finish this!" Meh. She didn't want to be up here all by herself.
Moving over to where she had placed her textbook, she looked through it until she found a page on Andromeda. Maybe if she had a good idea of what it looked like, it would be easier for her to spot it in space. Huh. Its picture looked like a bunch of stars to her; was that what all galaxies looked like? Why was Sander leaving her when she would need his help in figuring out if what she found really was Andromeda? Sighing, she flipped through the book some more until she found a page with a picture of the Milky Way. Not much better.
Shrugging, she decided to just go for it and hope that what she found was okay. She really did want to try hard like Professor Flamsteed asked her, but she such limited knowledge of space and he was not here for her to ask him questions.
Turning back to her telescope, she started fiddling with the dials again, looking out for anything that looked like either of the galaxies. Maybe she should have looked up the coordinates, but then it wasn't as if she would have been able to understand them anyway.
After a while, she spotted a bunch of stars that she thought looked like the Milky Way. "Wow, galaxies are so pretty." It was amazing to think of how far away stars were and that a lot of the ones she saw at night had actually died out a long time ago. Smiling at herself, she started looking for a galaxy near the Milky Way that had looked like the picture of Andromeda; while reading, one of the things that she understood was that it was nearish to the Milky Way, which she was pretty sure she had just found.
Turning the dials for a little while, she finally found a bunch of stars that looked like the galaxy she had been looking for. Wow, go her. She had managed to find a few planets and two big groups of stars!
Happy with herself, she stepped away from the telescope and used the Finite spell on it. Time for her to pack up, so she placed her textbook back in her bag. "Tessa, I'm done!" she announced to her friend as she walked over to her. Now it was time to leave. |
