01 / YOUR SEVEN-DAY JOURNEY

Progress worth
being curious about.

Learn, try a simple activity, reflect and move on. Ticks represent personal learning progress only; they are not verified observations or records sent to ASTRAVYR.

DAY 01 / 07 · DISCOVERY · 10–15 MIN

Look Up, Ask Why

Notice what you already know about the sky.

What you'll learn

Earth rotates once each day. Different directions and times offer different views of the sky; clouds, buildings, street lighting and terrain also affect what can be observed.

Try today's activity

From a permitted, safe location, choose one section of the evening sky. Make a simple sketch or write what you can actually see. Record the date and general conditions, not your home address.

Indoor or accessible alternative

Use a trusted public astronomical image instead and clearly identify it as a reference image rather than your own observation.

Your reflection

Which parts of your observation were actual evidence, and which were guesses?

Explore the learning sky

02 / MAKE YOUR OWN RECORD

Your discovery is yours to keep.

Create a printable activity passport of the seven days. You can write on paper, work with a teacher, or complete activities indoors.

Teachers & group leaders

Use the challenge as a flexible week-long programme, lunchtime science club or home-learning activity. Each day includes an indoor option and can stand alone.
