August Star constellation viewer

Hi everybody!

Since we are almost finished August, we wanted to share a map of star constellations for August with you! 
There are lots of fun constellations this month. As you can see, there are lots of constellations on this map. Do you see Hercules in the middle of the map? 
Down the bottom near the bottom right corner you can see there is a constellation called Scorpius. And the blue star in the constellation is the head of that constellation; which is the Scorpion's heart, Antares. Just to the right of that constellation is Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a half-human half-beast.
When you are viewing it in true life, it is actually located just below the scorpion. Tilt your head to the right and you'll see that it's under the Scorpion.

Isn't it so cool that Shiri's constellation is Sagittarius and Tanna's is the Scorpion? They are just next to each other in the sky! 

If you are wondering why we have our own constellation, it's because of our star sign. E.g If you were a Gemini, your constellation would be in the sky. Thats why it's called 'Star sign'. If you would like to see more months, you can look at this picture:
