Astronomy is about space and | '''Astronomy''' is about space and the [[world]]. | ||
==Sky== | |||
The sky is a great expanse of far background visible when no [[Blocks|block]] or back wall acts as a barrier. [[Astronomy#Heavenly Bodies|Objects]] within it move in circular patterns, although at an [[:Category:Location|equator]] they may appear to be moving vertically. It has a cycle characterized by four parts: day, dusk, night, and dawn. | |||

== Dawn == | === Dawn === | ||
Similar to dusk, the sky brightens and then turns pinkish orange but the moon and stars disappear. The light level starts to increase. | |||
==Heavenly Bodies== | |||
There are three types of objects that can be seen in the sky: the sun, the moon, and stars. Noting their motion may allow a player to [[World Location|identify what part of a world]] they're viewing. | |||
===Sun=== | |||
The sun is a very bright, white object slightly larger than a block in size, directly visible only during dawn or dusk (depending on the viewing location). It's so bright that it lightens the color of the sky near it, the closer the brighter. [[Weather|Overcast]] conditions will reduce this effect and possibly keep the sun from being visible at all. | |||
===Moon=== | |||
The moon is an object of similar size to the sun but not quite as bright. Like the sun, it tends to brighten nearby sky and is directly visible only during dusk or dawn (whichever the sun isn't). It's easily recognized by its mottled pattern. | |||
===Stars=== | |||
Starts are very small spots of light visible in the night sky. They have a consistent pattern based on [[Seasons|season]], time of day, and location. | |||
