Three Planets Research Paper

My friend Sydney, also a Ravenclaw, and I planned a planetary viewing for November sixteenth. We planned to go to the top of the astronomy tower, and catch a glimpse of the three planets we had learned could be seen in late November, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. We both had passes from professor Turing, so we were sure we wouldn't get caught by Filch for being out of bed. But then again, Filch is a bit of an idiot. We headed up to the top of the astronomy tower, glancing at the lunar chart Professor Turing had posted to be sure that it was't a full moon. Thankfully, it wasn't. We carried our telescopes, secure in their bags with the lens caps fasted on, to the top of the tower. We both wanted to run outside and start searching the sky for planets, but, of course, we had to wait for them to cool down. While we waited for the ten minutes to pass, we quizzed each other on the planets. Venus is second to the sun, Mars is third, and Jupiter is fourth. Mars and Venus are also both inner planets, but Jupiter is an outer planet, although they all follow one after another. Venus represents calmness and love. It has a thick atmosphere, composed mostly of carbon
First, I located the constellation Corvus, in the southeast part of the sky. There, glittering just to the left of the top two stars, was the star Spica. I smoked in victory. Just above the little star were the three planets, first Venus, then mars, then Jupiter. I messed around with the magnification on my telescope. I even measured the observed size and the albedo with the A and S buttons on the right of my telescope. It was great! I wished I could stay out all night, but we had so many classes in the morning, and, if it's possible, even more homework. We packed our telescopes and headed down the stairs. I glanced at the lunar chart on the way out, searching for a good viewing
