Get to know how to recognize the constellations, stars, and planets. Listen about the movement of the stars, time and Earth rotation. You will look at the constellations visible all year-round in the Northern Hemisphere, like Ursa Major (Big Dipper), Ursa Minor (Little Dipper) with his Pole Star, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Cepheus. Depending on the season, you can see also Andromeda, Pegasus, Perseus, Orion, Canis Major, Gemini, Hercules Ophiucus.
