Guess who it is, yeah me again. I own this blog so it will always be me. I'm doing this blog on constellations because I think space is pretty sick. A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky at night is the definition of constellations. Simple right? There are a lot of constellations too. Around 88 or so. Some constellations only appear in the northern hemisphere and some only in the southern. Apparently, the constellations that show up in both hemispheres can be upside down in the south, so that's pretty neat. Oh and did you know that the earliest official records of constellations were made 3,000 years ago by the Babylonians? The zodiac signs are based off of their observations as well. So as you can see, constellations are cool. Go tell your friends this. That's all I've got for you. Bye. Ha just kidding, now I'm going to tell you some actual constellations because those facts are a bit boring. Everyone knows the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. I have trouble just finding those, so imagine how it is looking for the others. There is also Orion, Taurus, Aries, and Big Star. Got you again, Big Star was made up. Cassiopeia and Andromeda are two more. I will try and add a picture of a lot of them. There is a ton though. The easiest way to find these constellations, if you can, is to find Polaris. All you have to do is find the Big Dipper and draw an imaginary line through the outer two stars of the Big Dipper’s bowl and you will come to Polaris. From there you can find all of them, if they are out at the time you're looking for them.
