Stewards Sky Watch Group study Constellations

It was a beautiful cold and icy night; the sky was so clear that it made recognising the constellations very easy. Constellations are areas of the sky designated by  astronomers to help them locate stars and planets. Andy Gannon’s talk about the history of constellations and star identification was very entertaining and Stewards Sky Watch Group had a wonderful evening.

Mr Berni Hinkley and Steven (8MR) said: ’ The night was very good. Getting out and seeing the planets and stars was brilliant.’

Stephanie Pope (7JJ) said: It was very good. I learnt that there are lots of constellations. I thought that there were about 20 but there are 88 mainly designed around an animal shape.’
