Astronomy

[showontheroad.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Astronomy. My name is Geno ♥♪!?, but for the sake of simplicity you may call me Geno-sensei, Mr. Geno, or simply Geno. Whichever you feel comfortable with.

This course will be a basic overview of the study of celestial bodies  - stars, planets, comets, meteors, etc. This also encompasses the the study of celestial beings, smash items, and abilities. There is both a lecture and a lab for every class. In the lecture, I'll go over the basic knowledge of astronomy.  In the lab we'll be studying meteorites and smash items of celestial origin.

Every second or third class, I'll call upon four volunteers to demonstrate the use of celestial smash items and abilities*. Please be advised that you must bring your protective smash clothing on those dates.

...okay! I think that covers everything. Since today's the first day of class, we'll just talk a little bit about astronomy. And I have incentive.

~pulls out a big bowl full of Star Bits™ Candy~

Let's hear how much you know. Every student that tells me a little bit about something relating to astronomy gets a piece of candy. Once we run out of candy, class is dismissed and you're all free for the rest of the period.


Sound good?

Well then...fire away.


(The usual applies here - students that want to be released early/eat candy better speak up! ;D Teachers that may or may not want a piece of candy can get in on the action if they want. The subject can have just about anything and everything to do with stars, so long as it's remotely in smash bros canon/real astronomy.)

(*He's referring to actual smash battles on wifi. We'll have a match occasionally with only star-related smash items, and if Lucas and Ness are around, a smash ball. :D)

Stars in the galaxy are created by rolling up large amounts of miscellany you find on the ground into a large enough ball which is then summoned up into the sky to bloom as a star. At least that's what Cranky told me...

Err...not...quite, but good try. ~gives candy anyway~

Oh these poor monkey children...p.q

*In the back of the class (for once), thinking quietly*

... AU, the Astronomical Unit. Defined as the distance from the center of the Sun at which an object with virtually no mass, in a perfect circular orbit, would make one full rotation for the same amount of time as our planet, around three hundred and sixty five and a quarter days. A much more precise method of measuring distances than the light year.

Is this kid looking at an invisible encyclopedia or what?

..v-VERY impressive, Mr. Hedgehog. ~tosses candy~

[kagebure.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Mr. Geno. It may be more physics than astronomy, but it is information I find useful to know.

Stars make shapes in sky, like Big Spoon and Little Spoon!

[showontheroad.livejournal.com]

That's right, Yoshi. Those shapes are called constellations, and the ones you mentioned are the most famous. ~gives candy~ Very good!

*leans against the classroom door frame and pushes up her glasses* Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences known to humanity, and accurate knowledge of the positions of the Sun, Moon[s], planets and stars has been essential in celestial navigation.

~shoots a candy to her with his finger gun~ Very good, Ms. Aran.

Thank you for your visit. ~bow~

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *coolly walks out without another word*

Good luck with your class Mr. Geno! I wonder if my planet has been found yet by Earth.

Shooting stars frequently fall into Stardust Fields, just on the border of the Mushroom Kingdom and my own, of course.

Very interesting, Peasley. ~tosses the shiniest star bit candy there is~

When the gigantic moon waxes it's poetic light upon the fields of Hyrule...that's when the Stalfos ERUPT from the ground and feast on the flesh of the living. :D

...o.o

That...isn't generally mentioned in textbooks but good to know....~gives candy~

Uhmm... Stars are really small lights in the sky and makes it prettyful to see...? :x *scratches head*

Some Pokémon came from outer space! And some meteorites actually evolve Pokémon!
