Did you know that stars are seasonal? That Orion is one of the brightest constellations? On Venus, a single day is longer than an entire year? Space has fascinated mankind since the beginning of time. 50 years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon and since then our knowledge of astronomy has expanded though there are still many mysteries to solve. In this resource, you will learn about the brightest stars and constellations, the myths and legends of astronomy and how to identify your zodiac constellation, star clusters and galaxies with just your eyes or a pair of binoculars.
