Viewing Orion


I volunteered for my lab group to view the constellation Orion and report in to the national survey being done called GLOBE at Night. I had taken a drive up to Green Bay and on the way home, noticed clear skies. I pulled the car over outside of Green Bay near Denmark (N44.385 W-87.872) From this vantage point I was able to see four stars in Orion's belt and I could see his sword. According to the handout, this was a level 5.
After I entered my data in on the site, I was able to see this map which indicates all of the individual entries.
