Professor: Colin O'Brian
Class: Astronomy
Practical Exam:

Students: For the practical portion of your (class here) OWL, you have been posed with the following scenario. Role-play your response in a post. You are required to respond to this scenario alone. Respond by June 17.

Scenario(s):
Students, Please take a telescope from the side; I have charmed the ceiling to appear like a night sky. I wish you to after setting up the telescope properly, observe the sky as you'd been taught to do, and locate or answer the following questions for me:

What Phase is the Moon in (This is a question that will admitedly not need the telescope); Describe why you know this.

Please find which planets are appearing in the sky at present, and tell me where they are.

I will be monitaring and taking notes the whole time. Once you believe you have completed the task to the best of you're ability, put you're telescope away and give me the paper. Good Luck.
