Science Saturday: Constellations


Look up at the peaceful sparkly night sky.
You might see shapes and figures way up high.
These are called constellations.
Each civilization has there own creations.
People made up figures for many reasons.
Early farmers connected the dots to tell the seasons.
Travelers used them to tell their location.
Students can learn them through astronomy education.
The sky is filled with fish and lions,
Crabs and dogs, and dragons and scorpions.
There are water bearers and serpent bearers
And even fantastical sky archers.
The figures can be whatever you want them to be.
In the sky, what do you see?
