    Learn the Night Sky Ep. 2

    In Episode 2, you’ll learn about the celestial sphere, the difference between constellations and asterisms as well as starhopping and we’ll be looking up into the night sky as every week to discover what to see in the month of May. We’ll finish our journey with stories about the moon, our closest celestial neigbor. For more visual material, please go over to Youtube and watch the episode there: https://youtu.be/iUR3SXFKtQg If you liked the stories and legends about the Moon, I highly recommend "Moon: Nature and Culture" by Edgar Williams.
