Galactic Address

Most people can tell you there phyical address, such as 1314 Pine Ave, New York, NY. But what about Earth's address? Where do we fit in among the stars? Today we investigated this question. The purpose of this is to allow your brain to freely "zoom in" and "zoom out" to any object within our universe although you've never been there. It's a skill that taps into your spatial intelligence. To practice this skill try using Google Earth or the program Celestia (introduced in class- free download). Explore our Earth and beyond. Familiarize your brain with what surrounds it on Earth and in the universe.
