| | |  Lesson 1
You ascend into a completely circular room at the top of the highest tower. The walls are completely made of floor to ceiling windows, except a metre wide section for a fire, giving an almost 360 degree view of the surrounds. Accessible through an almost invisible break is the glass is a wide stone balcony that completely encircles the room. There is a charm around the doorway that stops the stinging wind from entering.
The room is vast, having been expanded by magic. In it stands a very large and magnificent telescope that can reach even the most distant stars, its lenses pointing out through the glass wall, which actually revolves so that it can be turned any direction. On the balcony stand many smaller telescopes on tripods, and inside are about 30 small wooden desks shaped like stars and moons with very comfortable high backed chairs. They are arranged around a large Mahogany desk shaped like a crescent moon, with a similar chair… Professor Dainsie’s desk Welcome to Astronomy everyone! Please make your self comfortable. You are most welcome to help yourselves to my lollies during the lesson, so come on in... | |

*picking up her telescope, Katie looks through it but can't see much*
"Hey, where did everybody go?" *she asks loudly, when she sees Cassandra out on the balcony looking through her telescope. Katie blows a breath at her bangs and hastily makes her way to the balcony. picking up the telescope she aims it at the open sky and looks through it.*
"Aha! That's what I thought it looked like," *she mumbled and giggled to herself.*

Eric propped his telescope on the balcony and gazes at the clear night sky with his own eyes before looking through the telescope.

Chryssie picks up her favourite purple telescope and sets it up outside on the stone balcony.
"Wow, it's really clear tonight, huh?" she says to a fellow Hufflepuff standing beside her.

Lina grabs a telescope and follows the class out to the balcony. She quickly turns to Tara who is walking right behind her. Hi gurl! It's great to see you again, how've you been?

Lizzy looks grabs herself a telescope and walks over to Cassandra and Katie. Looking throguh it, she sees all the planets like they were up close, as if she could touch them by just reaching out her hand.
"Odds bobs, this is too cool..." she breathes.

Ok, so we all know that stars are the cool little bright things that twinkle up in the sky, but just what are they? | |

Eric thought for a moment then raised his hand. "Stars are large celestial bodies composed of hot gases contained by gravity, which emit electromagnetic radiation, especially light, as a result of nuclear reactions inside the star."

But there are different types of stars... does anyone know the 3 major classifications of stars?

*Lina raises her hand slowly, as though a bit uncertain of the answer*
Professor, I think the classes are Giants, Supergiants and White Dwarves.

Francis thinks about it and raises her hand. "The classification of size and color are interrelated, for their color suggests the degree of energy inside of them as well as what part of their evolution they are currently on. The three main types would be considered: Mainsequent Stars, Giants & Supergiants, and Faint & Virtually Dead Stars. The main-sequent stars include dwarf stars, yellow dwarf, and red dwarf. Giants & Supergiant include red giants, blue giant, and supergiant stars. Faint & Virtually Dead Stars include white dwarf, brown dwarf, neutrons, and pulsars."

Amber stares up at the stars while listening to the other students answers to the Professor's questions. she felt kind of stupid at not knowing the answer.

Greek_snitch tries to remember what she had read some years ago about the clasification of stars.

Ashlie set her telescope up near Eric's. "I love this class," she said. "It's always at night, such a relief."
Turning to the PRofessor she said, "Stars are classified as Dwarfs, Subgiants, Giants, Brightgiants, and Supergiants," she said.

"Giants, Supergiants and White Dwarves." Beth thinks to herself. She raises her hand lazily so many people already have their hands up she doubts she'll be called on.
She takes notes:
Stars: Stars are large celestial bodies composed of hot gases contained by gravity, which emit electromagnetic radiation, especially light, as a result of nuclear reactions inside the star
Three sizes of stars are... | |

Sativa bit her lip as she tried to focus her telescope on anything...finally she decided it could wait for a sec as she caught up on the notes.

Francis waits patiently to hear the Professor's response. She had been sure her answer was right, but now.. she was not entirely sure. Fidgeting with her fingers, she was doodling on the side of her quill.
