Make Sense of the Night Sky in 15 Minutes
If you’re like me when you look up at the stars you go “Oh, well that’s kinda cool” and move on. Have you ever wondered what’s really up there? The idea of constellations and ‘mapping’ out the night sky always seemed too overwhelming; I thought I could never look up and identify one star of millions. How could anyone actually see patterns and meaning in something so random looking? This site has given me some hope that I might actually be able to make sense of it all. It’s pretty simple and takes only 15 minutes to feel comfortable finding a few stars and constellations - you even learn how to navigate using Polaris as a guide. The true test will come when I actually look up at the real sky and see how I do. If it works out it definately seems like fun.
