START IN THE MIDDLE OF THE G WITH RED BETELGEUSE IN ORION.
HOP TO ALDEBARAN IN TAURUS, THEN BACK TO ORION FOR SUPER-BRIGHT RIGEL, THEN TO SIRIUS IN CANIS MAJOR, PROCYON IN CANIS MINOR, CASTOR AND POLLUX IN GEMINI AND FINALLY CAPELLA IN AURIGA!
RETRACE YOUR STEPS WITH A LINE CONNECTING THESE AND YOU VE DRAWN A GIANT LETTER G IN THE HEAVENS!
LOOKING AT STARS IS LOOKING BACK IN TIME -- AND AS THE ORIGINAL G, SNOOP DOGG, SAID, YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK IN TIME IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.
