Info

Astronomers recognize 35 official constellations in the Northern Hemisphere, including familiar star patterns like Orion and Ursa Major. In this class, we will learn about the history of constellations north of the equator from their origins in Mesopotamia and Egypt through ancient Greece and into the modern age. We’ll learn how astronomers use constellations to map the sky, and how people have used them to navigate.
