Civilizations have found pictures in the stars for millennia, telling tales of the things they saw in order to make sense of the world and the heavens above them. The eighty-eight official internationally recognized constellations we know today were passed down by the Greeks and Europeans, and scientists use them to help divide the night sky into quadrants for study. Seeing Stars details each constellation in a brief entry, covering the myths and legends surrounding each shape and how you can find it in the night sky. Featuring striking artwork, helpful hints, star charts, and a glossary and index for quick reference, this wonderful book is perfect for a night out under the cosmos.
