A good sized group had gathered, six of them would be good to start with, people could come in as they wished. She'd only be going over a few basics that would be useful the next time the telescope was out, and perhaps intrigue them to further study themselves if they wanted. The books to do so were scattered around on bookshelves around the observatory. Her mother opted for a humored greeting, Bast calling her 'qualified' which earned him a proud smile, Rin was quaint with her nod and Pele was happy to see her gazing at the charts, Margaery's appearance again concerned her and she tried to not let it show to the others, Auntie Suite was also one for a bit of humor it seemed and finally her sister seemed to actually think that things were okay. Maybe she didn't know how much her silent opinions hurt sometimes.
She quickly scrawled in bold, rounded letters the words "Celestial Poles". A circle was then drawn, then a smaller one inside it, lines connecting the two. The top was labelled NCP, the bottom SCP.
"Today we'll be going over some basic terms and stars, some of which you'll be able to find in the telescope the next time it's up and going. What I've drawn here is the earth, and the 'Celestial Sphere' the theoretical imaginary sphere in which the observer is the center and all celestial objects are considered to lie. It is the very thing that caused astronomers long ago to believe we were the center of the universe and not the Sun. The two lines I've drawn and labelled" She pointed with her stick at the both of them.
"Are the north and south celestial poles, they lie directly above our own north and south poles. The first can tell you the position of the star Polaris, or 'the North star', if someone were to be standing at our north pole, the NCP above their heads would point to Polaris. However there is no southern counterpart to Polaris. "
