The Sky At Night

Stars appear in the same pattern they have done for many thousands of years - although a few stars, such as Polaris, have shifted slightly since the time of the first ancient Babylonian astronomers.

By studying the sky on a nightly basis, you can learn to identify bright stars, such as Sirius, and even some of the planets in our Solar System , such as Venus and Jupiter, and recognize some of the better known constellations.
