Welcome to Dr. MLK, Jr. Planetarium's Podcast Script Instructions
- Your Podcast will be based on a combination of information from these three links.
- Pick several upcoming events from the JPL calendar.
- For EACH of the events prepare a two sentence explanation of the topic.
- Travel to the Dolan Constellation site and select 2 constellations that are visible during this time. (You may select your constellation from the current month list or those two months before/after.)
- Research some information about your constellation, what are some named stars? What do the names mean? What is the constellation named for?
- Use this link to find out which planets are visible at this time.
