Watch Video from Starry Night

The Starry Night software includes a movie about the solar system. Part I is about the inner solar system. Part II is about the outer solar system. Part III is about the moons of the solar system. Part IV is everything else, including Pluto.

Watch the movie and take notes.

HOW TO SET UP THE COMPUTER AND PROJECTOR.

COMPUTER:
The computer is already connected to the projector and stereo.
Start the computer. Make sure it is plugged in so it doesn't lose power.
Start "Apple DVD Player" on the desktop. The movie disk is already in the computer.

PROJECTOR:
Turn the projector on with the Power button. If the picture is not centered on the screen, rotate the mirror until it is.

STEREO:
Turn the stereo power on. The record player turntable may begin spinning. Ignore it.

When the movie starts, the computer screen will be blank. You have to look at the screen to see the movie.

Choose:Earth Zone.
Choose Each movie and let it play. Then choose the next.

If you move the mouse on the laptop, a cursor will appear and so will the DVD controls if you need them.
