cabin. He introduces her to some of his favorite constellations:
Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco. He points
out the Andromeda Galaxy and a shooting star (or meteor). The young

tips--such following the curve of Ursa Major's tail to find the
star Arcturus--to learn more about stargazing. Follow Sophie as she
