Constellations
These are the 88 constellations.
Constellations in the sky seem to move, but they stay in one spot while we move, because the Earth rotates.
Sailors in the past used constellations to find their way across the ocean. People still use this technique today.
Please send us a GIF file by e-mail of a constellation that we do not have(any one that is in black below). We will add the constellation to our web site!! Be sure to include your first name, so we can give you credit. Stars can be star shaped (we know they are not really shaped that way) or they can be circle shaped.
