Chapter 109 Open a small stove
This theory dominated astronomy until 1700 AD.Even after Copernicus discovered that the earth is not the center of the universe, people still hold the same point of view, but the halo of "cosmic master" is given to the sun again, and the basic definition of the universe has not been fundamentally changed.

The sky is still a celestial "sphere" with many stars in it, but the main body it includes is the sun, and the earth is much less in comparison.

"Ed, in this class, I think I don't need to teach you the basics, right?"

Professor Sinista stood next to the observatory and asked Ed who was lying on a huge cowhide star map.

With a pen in his hand, Ed circled many stars on the star map, including some constellations.

"That's right, Professor, I actually have a lot of questions."

Ed glanced at the star map, confirming that he didn't recognize them, or those whose names in memory did not match the names on the star map were circled.

Professor Sinista nodded, and carefully looked at the stars drawn by Ed: "I know, in class, I heard you tell the students stories about the planets orbiting stars.

They're all really good stories, and they sound like they're true.The most remarkable thing about these stories is that many of the above scenes are very much in line with the predictions of stargazers. "

Not all wizards are rigid and stubborn. , many wizards are curious about things in the Muggle world.Of these, a small minority tended to study Muggle astronomy.

In this way, we can further delve into the influence of astrology on prophecy and the deeper mysteries.These people are called stargazers.

"Well... the stars you drew are all stars that our wizards and Muggles have conflicts with." After looking around, Professor Sinista probably guessed something: "These planets were discovered by wizards in the past 50 years. , so a lot of names didn't make it into the Muggle world."

"Oh, I see the professor."

For a long time, wizards have been ahead of Muggles in the study of natural phenomena, including astrology.So, it has always been wizards who name the stars.

It wasn't until Muggles appeared with large telescopes that Muggles discovered stars at a much faster rate, which made wizards unexpected.Until decades later, after discussions among astrological wizards, it was unanimously decided to establish the International Astronomical Union (Muggle Branch)

At the same time, the stars discovered by Muggles that have little influence on the divination results are uniformly named with special numbers, and they are no longer named.

"Okay, that's all we'll see today."

Professor Sinistra used his magic pen to circle the upper left corner of the star map, a quarter of the area:
"Put your own eyes on the binoculars."

"Okay, professor!" Ed closed one eye and lay down in front of the telescope: "Professor, the light is too strong now, so I can't see anything."

"You have to learn to use your heart to feel the magic power emitted by those stars."

Professor Sinista pulled out his wand, tapped it lightly on the telescope, and then, as if it was entangled in a viscous liquid, he pulled hard, and a blue water-like thing was drawn out, floating in the air.

Then, it spread out like water, and what appeared on it was the scene presented to the observer in the telescope.

After the water surface stabilized, it turned blue. Obviously, Ed didn't find the trick to use the optical astronomical telescope during the day.

"Every wizard who is good at astronomy has a star responsible for positioning." Professor Sinista said slowly: "We call it a totem.

You have to understand all the properties and trajectory of the totem, and you can easily find it in the sky even during the day.

Every wizard's totem is different and won't tell anyone.Because if others know your totem, it is possible to interfere with your divination during the day. "

Hearing Professor Sinista's eloquent talk, Ed really wanted to say: I just came here to learn the names of various stars, not to be a fortune-teller.

"However, in the astronomical world, there is a public totem."

"Venus?"

"Wrong, it's the moon." Professor Sinista tapped Ed's head with his wand: "Calm down and imagine the appearance of the moon in the night sky. When the sun disappears, the moon will be in the sky..."

Professor Sinista's voice was very low, like a lullaby, but he quickly led to Ed.

Ed now had a crescent moon in his mind, high in the sky, shining with the other stars around him.

"Professor, what's the point of thinking about this..." Ed blinked, and then said the last word in shock: "Use..."

On the water mirror in front of Professor Sinista, a new moon appeared, and many stars.

This is what Ed saw.

In the telescope, Ed is like looking at the stars at night, the sky is full of stars scattered in the sky.

Afterwards, Ed raised his head in shock and moved away from the telescope, the sun was still outside.But in the world in the telescope, the sun disappears, and the world is covered with a curtain.

The world in front of him was bright and dark, and Ed jumped back and forth in it.

Professor Sinista was very satisfied with Ed's expression, because she also looked like this after being guided by her mentor for the first time.

"Okay, there will be plenty of time in the future. As long as you are not annoying, you can experience it every day."

Professor Sinista did not forget that today is to teach Ed:
"Although the moon is easy to imagine and predict, it has a disadvantage that it is too bright. In a star map with the moon as a totem, there are too few stars that can be seen. This will have a great impact on divination.

Now, Ed, you look to the easier constellation, Ursa Major, and look at its tail. "

Ed moved his gaze, and finally landed on the position of the Big Dipper.

Professor Sinistra saw the constellations on the water mirror and nodded: "Then we will start here.

The first one doubts the stars, moves his eyes upwards..."

Ed and Professor Sinista happily studied for two hours on the astronomy tower.

It wasn't until Ed's stomach growled that Professor Sinista waved the water mirror with his wand:

"Let's stop here today. I thought it would take you four days to complete it. Unexpectedly, you have re-recognized everything.

You've got an O in this class, Ed. "

Professor Sinista found that Ed was a genius. In every constellation and star she mentioned, Ed could actually find it. (As long as she says it as a Muggle name.)
"It's better to be taught by the professor." Ed was very humble.

"Hahaha, you little brat." Professor Sinista walked over and rubbed Ed's head fiercely, messing up his hair, and was about to hug Ed's forehead and kiss him, but Ed quickly stopped him.

In this semester, Ed has seen many seniors who took advantage of him, but he didn't expect the professor to be like this!
However, it seems that the astronomy class that is the second headache has been solved by Ed, and now only the history of magic class taught by Professor Binns is left.

I hope to find the secret of Professor Binns and bring him back to life.In this way, even if the test is not good, the professor can be accommodated.
