Using the diagram included in this lab, graph the stars from Table 1 in black ink. Then, using a different pen color (one that can clearly be distinguished from the black ink), graph the stars from Table 2 on the same diagram. Once you have everything graphed, draw and label circles around the general regions of your H-R diagram (See your textbook as a reference.). Then, complete the questions located on my.ncwc.edu. These questions will be much easier if you label each of your data points on your diagram.
