“Now before we get too much farther into the lesson, and I bore you to tears with Greek Mythology. Orion has seven highly visible stars that form its unique hourglass pattern. Can anyone tell me the name of one of these seven stars?”
See, this was kind of what Skylar disliked about her lack of consistent professor for more than one year. It was like, she was expected to know things, but each professor seemed to have their own expectations for what she should or should not know. Fortunately, Skylar had kept up with reading of whatever the required Astronomy textbook had to be for the year, but it wasn't the same. Oh-Ryan though, really? Fighting the urge to roll her eyes, the fifth year instead diligently worked to add the librarian/professor's dialogue onto her own notes that she'd taken from the textbook.
Seven stars visible to the naked eye that formed Orion. That was easy, as she'd remembered them by recalling BARB and SAM. Bellatrix, Alnitak, Rigel, Betelguese, Saiph, Alnilam, Mintaka. All of which her classmates seemed to call out, except, as Skylar put a tiny dot above each star's name to see which was mentioned, there was one that had not been mentioned -- Alnilam. Which was about to raise her hand and mention, but then Mr Kennedy had announced them all and they were continuing on.
With conjuring their own stars? Did it matter what pattern they put their stars in? Or was it merely just the act of conjuring stars? And what did that have to do with that door? Also did the conjured stars last forever, because what would happen the following night when there were stars in the sky? Would there just be extra stars out? Would that not mess with the constellations? Pondering this -- confused look on her face as well, Skylar absently traced a star in the sky, rehearsing the incantation, "Stell-AIR-is. Stell-AIR-is" And as she rehearsed, her musings couldn't take it and she had to ask.
Raising her hand, she just asked, "Um, so question, stars are these luminous balls of gas located billions of miles away, so if we're conjuring stars, does that not affect the constellations? And we can't push our conjured stars out into space, i mean, can we?"
