A guide to the stories written in the night sky

Constellations: Stories in the Stars pairs practical sky-watching with Greek mythology. The guide introduces 15 constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere and explains the myths behind their names, linking what stargazers can look for overhead with the stories associated with those patterns. A poster with pinholes for the featured constellations adds an indoor way to explore the same star arrangements with a light. Astronomy and mythology share the page, giving the book both an observational and a storytelling focus.
