Many centuries ago, people gazing at the sky night after night began to notice figures or characters formed by groups of stars.  They gave them names and created wonderful, interrelated stories about them.  This helped create a visual "map" of the night sky, making it easier to locate stars.  But these characters are not really sitting out there in space.  They are only imaginary patterns created by the juxtapositions of groups of stars as we view them from Earth.  If you could somehow see the night sky from another part of the galaxy, the relative positions of the stars would be completely different and you would be able to discover totally new constellations.  But why wait until you're in another part of the galaxy? Why not check out the constellations from where you are already located?  This handy Night Sky Navigator is the tool to invest in!  Featuring a four-season constellation map, it will help you locate the stars and constellations you're looking for.  Multiple view modes help you not only find the constellations and see their mythological figures, but the built-in audio navigation tour, along with a cool LCD screen and glow in the dark compass, keeps kids engaged and wanting to learn more about the beautiful night sky. The included instruction manual includes cool facts and info on the history of astronomy and the mythologies behind the constellations. With a month, date and time dial for year-round navigation, this is a perfect toy for the aspiring astronomer in your family!
