his section is adapted from Scale Models and Graphing, a paper lab created for GS107 by Sang Park at PCC/Cascade. Below is a typical field of stars for the Milky Way galaxy as seen from a telescope (the image is inverted, so the sky is white and the stars are black). It would be very tedious to try to count all of the stars in this large field of view (FOV). However, we can estimate this number by counting stars for a smaller subset (area), and extrapolating to larger areas. Use a ruler to outline 5 sub-regions of this star field, using the widths and heights given in the table. You can choose any part of the star field, as long as the width and height of your boxed subset matches the numbers in the table. Calculate the area in each outlined region (width times height) and count the number of stars in each outlined region. A copy of this star field and the table to be filled out and turned in is available as a word document and as a .pdf document
