During this live presentation, your guide connects the stars on the dome to make constellations and shares some of the stories about them. She also explains why the constellations seem to move and why they are divided into groups called circumpolar, seasonal, and zodiac. After this program, you’ll be ready to go out and identify the brightest constellations and stars in the real sky. You’ll also know how to find the North Star and how to use it as a guide. You might even have a story or two to share with your friends!
