00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:04,804
summer is a perfect time to find the Big 
Dipper

2
00:00:04,904 --> 00:00:08,808
but it's not a constellation it's an 
asterism one part of a larger

3
00:00:08,908 --> 00:00:10,410
constellation

4
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:14,147
if you face Northwest after sunset 
you'll easily spot the Big Dipper high

5
00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:15,749
in the sky

6
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:19,119
the Big Dipper is only part of the 
larger constellation Ursa Major the Big

7
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:20,754
Bear

8
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:24,190
it marks the rear end and tail while 
other fainter stars Mark the head and

9
00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:29,929
pause now face sounds to find two more 
asterisms one looks like a fish hook and

10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:34,367
the other looks like a teapot the fish 
hook is the body and tail of scorpion

11
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,036
scorpion

12
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:39,873
while the teapot is the torso bow and 
arrow of Sagittarius the Archer who is

13
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:41,474
half man half horse

14
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:45,678
he has his arrow firmly aimed at the 
break red star marking the Scorpions

15
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:47,380
heart and tarts

16
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:51,451
these asterisms are sometimes easier to 
find the entire constellations

17
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:55,551
so keep looking up
