Located to the left of the Astronomy classroom's door is a a large circular black framed announcement board. Walk too far to the right or left and its glass surface resembles the phases of the moon, so you must stand directly in front of it to be able to read it. This is the place to find information on class times, homework assignments, and any other Astronomy related announcements Professor Flamsteed feels students should know. Be sure to check back often to make sure you don't miss something important!

There are two options for this homework. Please only complete ONE of them for credit. Doing more will not earn you double the house points. Extra credit is available to outstanding efforts and creativity.
⌦ option one (worth 15 pts)
Using your textbook, illustrate and label a chart showing the difference between a simple impact crater and a complex impact crater.
Vocabulary to include:
central uplift
floor
impact breccia
impact ejecta/ejecta
impact melt
raised rim
rays
wall
You may include additional information beyond the above if you wish.
OOC: This is a graphics specific assignment. Graphics should be your original work and not something copy pasted from the internet.
⌦ option two (worth 15 pts)
The Moon's surface is covered in craters. Simply looking up at it from our perspective here on Earth makes this fact obvious. Take your telescope and the appropriate spell to focus it, go out on the grounds or to the observatory (DO NOT DEFILE THE SANCTITY THAT IS THE SANCTUARY OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY) and do a bit of "cratergazing". Using your textbook to assist you, locate and identify 3 impact craters on the Moon's surface and pick 1 to write 2 inches on. I highly suggest you wait for the full moon for this assignment so you do not limit your lunar surface viewing area.
OOC: This is a RP specific task and requires a 4 post minimum. 2 inches, in this case, is one solid paragraph of at least 5 thoughtful sentences.
⌦ this assignment is due September 30th @ 11 pm GMT + 9
Please be sure you have read through Astronomy & Space Navigation and paid particular attention to the rules regarding homework submission. Late homework submissions will not be accepted. Any questions, concerns, or what have you can be sent to me via PM. You do NOT have to have participated in the lesson to do this homework.
