If so, keep reading… Have you ever looked up at the night sky & imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years.

(If you hold up just your pinkie finger by itself, the width of it is 1 degree.) This will help you navigate the night sky to find the constellations in this book! Did You Know: There are some stars you can see from Canada that will never be seen from Australia! Or that Jupiter, the largest planet, has 80 moons!
