Perfect for camping trips, the cabin, and the backyard, this booklet introduces 30 of the most important constellations to know. It begins with tips for watching stars and shows you how to locate constellations by working outward from the Big Dipper and Orion. Season sky maps show which constellations are visible at different times of the year. Information about each featured constellation includes best viewing time, Greek mythology, constellations from many cultures—including Native American, African, and Asian—and star stories from around the world. Along the way, Dorcas’s professional illustrations guide you to a positive identification of the star patterns.
This guide is most useful for stargazing between the 30th and 50th parallels in the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, this includes the contiguous United States (except the Florida peninsula and southernmost Texas) and southern Canada.
