Chapter 103: Astrology Lesson
In the middle of the night on Wednesday, Espurna was called out to Faisali because they were going to astrology class. Espurna looked at the other roommates and saw that they were still asleep.
At this time, I heard Anvili talking in a daze: "Kaiding, will you eat another piece of cake......" Aspuna felt very interesting when she heard it, and she was very curious about who Kaiding was.
Although Aspuna wanted to know what Aveli would say next, she couldn't resist Faisali's urging, so she quickly put on her school uniform and quietly left the dormitory.
The astrology class was held on the highest astrology tower of the school, and by the time the two of them arrived at the astrological tower, the top of the tower was already full of more than 20 students. I saw them yawning from time to time, and their expressions were sleepy.
Espena looked around, there was a huge astronomical-like thing in the middle of the classroom, and the night breeze was a little chilly at night due to the lack of windows around.
A night breeze blew, and Espurna shivered. Aspuna quickly took out her wand and used a warming charm on herself, which made her feel much better.
Faisali saw that there was a seat next to the window, and quickly pulled Aspuna to sit down. Espurna sat by the window and looked out at the night scene, in the dark night, the bright moonlight illuminated the starry sky, and a bright and brilliant galaxy split the sky in half.
Faisali also looked at the starry sky and sighed: "What a beautiful starry sky, I really wish my hometown could have such a beautiful starry sky." Espurna looked at Faisali curiously, and then she realized that Faisali's face was very delicate and moving, and it was even more beautiful in the moonlight.
"What's wrong?" Faisali wondered why Aspuna kept looking at her. Then he looked at his clothes and asked, "Do I have any dirt on my clothes?" β
Espurna came back to her senses and said, "No. By the way, Faisali why? You should still be able to see the starry sky in the desert," Faisali said helplessly, holding her cheeks with her hands, "There is no way, those dwarven blacksmiths have polluted the starry sky by forging armor and weapons day and night." But my father didn't even object, I don't know why. β
"Alright, students! Sit down, it's time for class! β
"Oh my God, when did she come?" "Did you see that?" "No, it suddenly appeared!" The students were amazed.
Espena followed the sound and saw a female elf with a height of more than two meters appear on the balcony of the astrological tower, I saw that she was slender and long, her skin was as white as snow, she was wearing a long veil made of white silk, and her demeanor was very elegant and slow, her ears were as sharp as fairies, especially those pure blue eyes without the whites of the eyes, when you stared at her eyes, it was like seeing the sea.
This was the first time Aspuna had seen the elf, and she curiously touched Feisali with her elbow and asked, "...... she?" Faisali leaned over and whispered, "She's a high elf." The only high elf in our school. β
I saw the high elf say in a slow but sweet voice, "My name is Olomilie, and I am the teacher of your astrology class, and you will learn the names of the different stars, the orbits of the planets, and even the astrological divination of the future. β
Then I took out my notebook and started roll call like any other teacher.
After the roll call, I saw Professor Olomiri put away the notebook and clapped her hands, and the astronomical in the middle of the classroom slowly turned. I saw that the ceiling of the astrological tower gradually became transparent, and the bright starry sky appeared in front of everyone.
Professor Olomiri flicked her fingers slightly, and the astrometer in the middle of the classroom slowly rotated with the control of her hand, and the starry sky gradually changed position. Espurna looked at the scene in disbelief, and she quickly looked out the window, where the starry sky was still there. Only then did she realize that the planetarium could only control the starry sky inside the tower.
Professor Olomiri fiddled with the astrometer and told the students the names of the stars and their movements.
"Students, please pay attention here." I saw Professor Olomiri stop the astronomical meter. At this time, seven bright stars appeared in the sky. I saw her wave her fingers to link the seven stars, which looked like a bucket spoon.
Professor Olomiri smiled and asked, "Students, can you tell me what star this is?" Espurna looked up and saw at a glance that it was the Big Dipper. At that time, her grandfather once taught her how the astrological signs helped people find their way on the sea.
Espena raised her hand without hesitation, and Professor Olomiri smiled and said, "So, Miss Demplincion
, you answer. β
Espena stood up and said, "This is the Big Dipper." β
Professor Olomiri smiled and nodded, "Lady Demplincion, can you tell us about the Big Dipper?" β
Espena nodded, and then said slowly, relying on the knowledge that her grandfather had taught her.
"The Big Dipper is composed of seven bright stars, shaped like a bucket spoon, and is easy to identify, hence the name. The two stars at the head of the spoon are called "Polar Stars", which point to the North Star and help us orient ourselves at night.
The Big Dipper is made up of seven stars. The ancestors linked these seven stars and imagined them as the bucket shape of scooping wine in ancient times, with Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan forming a fighting body, and the ancient Kui and Dou Kui; Yuheng, Kaiyang, and shaking light are composed of bucket handles, which are said to be ladles in ancient times. If Tianxuan and Tianshu are connected in a straight line and extend about five times the distance, you can find the North Star, forming the North Star Region.
The names of the seven eastern stars of the Big Dipper are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaoguang in the order of connection from the mouth of the bucket to the handle of the bucket. The first four are called "Doukui", and some are called "Xuanji"; The last three are called "bucket handles", and they are called "jade balances".
Western star names are named Ξ± Ursa Major, Ξ² Ursa Major, Ξ³ Ursa Major, Ξ΄ Ursa Major, Ξ΅ Ursa Major, ΞΆ Ursa Major and Ξ· Ursa Major. Through the line of the two stars in the bucket mouth, the North Star can be found by extending 5 times in the direction of the bucket mouth, and these two are also called "finger pole stars". β
Professor Olomiri nodded and said, "Thank you very much Miss Dem Lincion for the introduction, and then we will start our search for the North Star." β
I saw her say while controlling the stars: "You can find the North Star by first looking for the Big Dipper, and then through the Big Dipper." The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major, and graphically, the Big Dipper is located on the back and tail of the Bear. Six of these seven stars are of 2nd magnitude and one is of 3rd magnitude. Through the connection of the two stars (Tianshu and Tianxuan) in the direction of Doukou, the North Star was found. Beginners can find other constellations from the Big Dipper. β
After sitting down, he opened his notebook and began to take seriously what Professor Olomiri had said.
Although her grandfather had taught Epuna how to look for the stars, she still took her class notes very carefully.
Then Faisali leaned over and whispered, "Epuna, who did you learn the astrological signs from?" Know it in such detail? Espurna looked at Faisali and replied with a smile, "My grandfather, he does astrology every day. He taught me. "Can you teach me, then?" Faisally asked.
Espurna tilted her head and smiled, "Of course, no problem. β
β¦β¦
After more than an hour of astrology class, Espurna looked at the notebook full of pages in her hand and sighed, "Oh my God, I'm so sleepy, let's go back with Faisali, we have to get up early tomorrow." β
But Faisali didn't answer her, and Espurna turned her head curiously, only to see that Faisali was already asleep on the table. Espena shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, no wonder you want me to teach you.
Espurna nudged Fesali, who squinted and looked up in a daze, saying, "Well, is class over?" Espena grabbed Faisali's arm and picked her up and said, "Yes, class is over, come, let's go back to the dormitory." Faisali said with sleepy eyes, "Well, well... Yes.. Good.. Get back. β
When the two returned to the dormitory, the other roommates were still asleep, and Anvili seemed to be still talking in her sleep. But now Aspuna was sleepy, and she didn't want to wonder if her dream talk was even drama.
She threw Faisali, who had fallen asleep while walking, on the bed, then turned to her bed and fell headlong into her bed, and then fell asleep.
Espurna later learned that Wednesday was all about astrology in the middle of the night.
