| Resource Description
|
| CONSTELLATIONS KNOWLEDGE CARDS. People have been inventing constellations - imaginary shapes made by mentally connecting astral dots - for atleast 6,000 years. Constellations are celestial landmarks that provide assistance to astronomers, farmers and sailors, and quiet pleasure to the rest of us. This deck of 48 cards presents a concise but highly informative look at 46 star groups. Each card has a chart of a constellation on the front - its position and area, brighest star and number of visible constituent stgars, and notes on the constellation's origin and history. One card is a glossary of astronomical terms and abbreviations; another gives general information about the night sky. This card deck is a great way to learn how to read maps in the sky. #G-50801.
