Default The Astronomy Classroom



While a bit of a trek up several flights of spiraling staircases, the Astronomy classroom is well worth the effort.

Professor Burbage, being a ghost, does not keep an office but can most likely be found floating in here if you have a question or are looking for a little boisterous chat.

Round in all its glory, the classroom itself is a soothing shade of royal blue with golden embellishments representing the various constellations and asterisms upon it. Upon the eight stained glass windows that line the outermost curve of the classroom is one phase of the Moon's sunlit journey each month and are beautiful to behold in the daylight and charmed to glow softly in the evening. Two half circle tables are located in the middle of this grand space where students are seated at during lessons and above a beautiful golden orrery, the Sun providing light to the classroom itself, that certainly would have anyone who gazes upon it feel the wonder of the universe and the romantic allure of the heavens above. The cabinets and shelves are stocked with everything a student of astronomy could ask for, even parchment and spare ink, as long as you handle the equipment with care and are not wasteful as you expand your horizons. There are also bulkier bits of astronomical history scattered about the classroom such as a torquetum and an astrarium located individually on a pair of round wooden tables that frame the supply cabinets, a celatone atop a porcelain bust, a standing astronomical clock akin to the infamous one in Prague nestled against the doorframe in and out of the classroom, and a gorgeous bronze armillary sphere on the opposite side of the classroom from the supply cabinet.
