On your lab table you should have a flashlight and a piece of aluminum foil. With your team, devise a way to demonstrate the best place to look for asteroids in the sky. Share your explanation with the rest of the class. What relative positions of the Sun, Earth and asteroid provide the highest likelihood of detection?

Use a night sky simulation program to determine the R.A. and Dec. coordinates of a good place in the sky to look for asteroids, assuming you were going to observe tonight at midnight.
