Re: Astronomy GCSEI might be wrong but I think it could be referring to the magnitudes of stars (e.g absolute) and how they vary(Original post by zed_1998)
thanks. And can someone please answer this too, the astronmy website doesnt really explain it.
describe the appearance of stars, double stars, asterisms,
constellations, open clusters, nebulae and globular clusters in the
night sky -

Re: Astronomy GCSEErm.. it's something like if Latitude of the observer + declination of the star is greater than 90 degrees then the start is circumpolar(Original post by zed_1998)
Sorry, i posted the wrong one
demonstrate an understanding that some constellations are visible from a given latitude throughout the year, but others are seasonal.
Don't hold me to that though

Last year it was 89 marks out of 120 in the paper for an a* and it was 34 out of 40 for the coursework. Good luck
