JAMES:
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, WHEN THE BIG

DIPPER GIVES UP ITS ROLE AS AN EASY, EARLY-EVENING
INDICATOR

OF NORTH.

DEAN:
BUT FEAR NOT MY FRIENDS!

THE BIG DIPPER'S POSITION HIGH ABOVE THE NORTH
STAR IS REPLACED BY CASSIOPEIA

THE QUEEN.

DEAN:
OK., IF YOU GO OUT ANY NIGHT THIS WEEK

AROUND 9 P.M.

YOU'LL SEE THE 5 BRIGHT STARS OF CASSIOPEIA
WHICH, IF WE CONNECT WITH IMAGINARY LINES,

TRACE OUT THE
LETTER 'M'.

JAMES:
AND IF WE SPEED UP TIME A FEW HOURS, YOU CAN

SEE THE QUEEN, SITTING MAJESTICALLY ON HER
THRONE, AS SHE CRUISES AROUND THE NORTH STAR.

DEAN:
AT NIGHT, CASSIOPEIA STANDS REALLY HIGH IN

THE NORTHERN SKY.

HER FIVE SEMI-BRIGHT STARS MAKE A NOTICEABLE
M-SHAPE PATTERN.

JAMES:
THE THREE BRIGHTEST STARS MAKE A NEAT TRIANGLE.

THEIR NAMES ARE CAPH, SCHEDAR, AND TSIH AND
WHEN YOU CONNECT THEM TO THE OTHER TWO, YOUVE

FOUND QUEEN CASSIOPEIA.

BOTH:
KEEP LOOKING UP!
