Hope immediately got up and went over to the telescope that the professor had said was point at the newest star, because she thought she'd have better luck with a single star than a constellation. Besides, it was kind of interesting that they were still finding and naming stars. Though she'd never heard of a "honey" badger--she wondered if they were similar to the ones she'd seen in Britain.
At first she couldn't see anything but a blur through the telescope, but with a tiny bit of fine tuning, she got it focused. Still, it just looked like a bunch of stars. Oh, wait--there was one that seemed clearer and brighter and closer--that must be it. "Do they just call it the Honey Badger?" she asked out loud, "or is there some Latin or scientific name they also use for it?" |
