LAST WEEK, I POINTED YOU IN THE DIRECTION
OF

THE NORTH STAR.

USING THAT KNOWLEDGE, WE CAN
START HOPPING ACROSS THE SKY -- THERE ARE

TWO
BEARS, AND TWO DOGS OUT HERE, SO LET S CATCH

EM ALL!

FACE NORTH AT 9:30PM AND FIND THE BIG DIPPER.

THESE STARS MARK THE REAR HALF AND TAIL OF
URSA MAJOR, OR THE GREAT BEAR.

REMEMBER, THE TWO STARS ON THE END OF THE
BIG

DIPPER POINT YOU TO THE NORTH STAR, POLARIS.

WHICH MARKS THE END OF THE LITTLE DIPPER AND
THE TAIL OF THE CONSTELLATION URSA MINOR

THE
LITTLE BEAR!

BOOM, TWO BEARS.

NEXT TURN AROUND AND LOOK SOUTHEAST.

THE BIG
DOG, CANIS MAJOR IS EASY TO FIND SINCE IT

HAS
THE BRIGHTEST STAR, SIRIUS, FOR A NOSE.

THEN LOOK UP AND TO THE LEFT OF SIRIUS AND
YOU LL FIND ANOTHER BRIGHT STAR CALLED

PROCYON.

PROCYON IS PART OF THE LITTLE DOG
CONSTELLATION CANIS MINOR -- WHAT A GOOD BOY.

NEXT TIME YOU GO FOR A NIGHTTIME STROLL, SHOW
OFF THESE BEARS AND DOGS, AND KEEP LOOKING

UP!
