Are you ready to impress your friends & family with amazing knowledge & exciting tales of the constellations?! If so, keep reading…

Have you ever looked up at the night sky & imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years.

Technology like telescopes & space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there. Some people saw heroes & monsters made out of stars & would tell stories about them.

This book is going to tell you all about the wonderful things floating around above your head & teach you how to find some of the planets & special stars from your bedroom window. (It’s exploding with fun pictures to help you visualize them, too.)

It’s also packed with legendary tales about the constellations, like how the constellation of Hercules shows him wrestling the monster Hydra or how Pegasus–a magical flying horse with wings–was the only animal that could carry Zeus’s lightning bolts without getting hurt!

Discovering constellations doesn’t have to be difficult, even if you don’t own a telescope. You can even find them by using your hands!

Try this HANDY (pun fully intended) tip to help you find the stars:

1. Straighten your arm out in front of you & make your hand into a fist. The distance from your first knuckle (don’t count the thumb) to your fourth knuckle is 10 degrees.
2. Now spread out only your thumb & pinkie finger. The distance from tip to tip is 25 degrees. (If you hold up just your pinkie finger by itself, the width of it is 1 degree.)

This will help you navigate the night sky to find the constellations in this book!
