Question 1: Which Constellations are Circumpolar from Miami, Florida?:
In this section, you will determine which constellations are circumpolar as seen from the low-latitude city of Miami, Florida.
(1.) Click the "Location window" button:
and set Stellarium's location to Miami. It will show up in Stellarium's city database list as "Miami, Northern America." If you do not remember how to change locations, see Lab 2.
(2.) Use the "Date/Time window":
to set the day and time to:
Day: 2023 / 7 / 4
Time: 22:30
(3.) We still want to see the constellations, so keep the "Constellation lines," "Constellation labels," "Constellation art" options: turned on.
(4.) Move your view so that the Northern horizon is centered at the bottom of your screen.
(5.) Increase the rate at which time moves by clicking the "Increase time speed" button: four times.
Question 2: Why do you see fewer circumpolar constellations when Polaris and the North Celestial Pole are located lower above your Northern horizon
