Constellations

It’s time for the next series; constellations! Join me as we navigate around some of the 88 modern constellations, and maybe learn something new about them on the way too.

Our first constellation is one of the largest and possibly one of the ones that most people can identify at least a part of; Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear. This is the constellation which has The Plough/Wheelbarrow/Saucepan/whatever you call it!

Ursa Major

Here is the first of our constellations. I’m looking forward to researching these for you. I’ve spent so much time observing some of them in the sky, it will be interesting for me to find out a little more about them too.

If you are interested, each constellation has it’s own mythology behind it. Various cultures have different stories too, so check them out. Some are more innocent than others though.

Constellations are made up by us playing connect the stars in the sky. They can be anything you want. Next time you look up in the night sky, maybe you can make your own constellations! Let me know what you make!

All the best,
