To read a planisphere, align the date and time on the outer edge with the current date and time. Hold the planisphere overhead and rotate it until the current time matches the date and time on the edge. The stars visible in the window will correspond to the ones in the sky at that moment.
To use a planisphere to find constellations, rotate the dial on the planisphere to match the date and time you are observing the sky. Hold the planisphere above your head, align the cardinal directions on the dial with the actual directions, then locate the desired constellation by finding its name or shape on the disk relative to the date and time settings.
A star chart is a map of the night sky that shows the positions of stars, constellations, and other celestial objects. A star finder, also known as a planisphere, is a hand-held device that helps you identify stars and constellations in the night sky based on your location and the time of year. They are useful tools for stargazing and amateur astronomers.
thank you very muuch for your attention in class, im maribel cuenca ¿¿do you understand me?? because i think you're SILLY PEOPLE jeje im joking bye guys, a kiss from your mom jejejejajajajeejejea (L) love
You can search online for a chart that allows you to feed in your latitude and the date and that will tell you. Or like me, you can use a Planisphere for your latitude. Any good astronomy supply shop (including Amazon) will be able to help you with one).
Astronaut Frank Borman the comander of Apollo viii spacecraft read from the bible . He read from the book of Genises chap 1 verse 1 , the creation of the world.

A Planisphere is a model for assisting a viewer in finding constellations in the night sky and recognising individual stars,as all stars are not visible througout the yearABIGLIE VENTER
Planisphere or just your average telescope.
The planisphere is not located in any specific place as its an object that was designed and used for viewing stars. It consists of a circular start chart that contains a clear window that gives you viewing power of only a portion of the sky's stars at any given point in time.
It's a Planisphere. I only know because it was on TV tonight :)
