With the Supplement, ESL classes (English as a Second Language) can follow the narration with the script. Thus, it can be used as a tool to help improve diction, vocabulary and grammer.
This 49 minute narrated videotape is a tour of the night sky. Only one planetarium software can approach what the night sky really looks like (Starry Night's "ProPlus") but it costs over 10X as much. This tape delivers the real sky. It is a record of the night sky as seen from a dark rural site. It contains unique scenes of Comet Hyakutake and Hale Bopp as they drifted across the northern sky. There are also video segments of aurorae, meteors and solar eclipses. Once you have learned the sky, turn off the sound and enjoy the show in the silence of your thoughts. This tape shows the rotation of the celestial sphere. It shows the constellations and asterisms as they drift across the sky in the south and around the pole star in the north. It locates and identifies the brightest deep sky objects that are visible to the unaided eye from suburban observing sites. |
| There are 10 general topics covered in the videotape: | |
|
An Introduction, Earth and Sky, The Milky Way and the Seasons, Our northern Our Eastern Sky, |
Our Southern Sky, Our Western Sky, Comets and Meteors, Earth and Sun (aurora, solar eclipse), and The Epilog. |
