Catching the stars



Today we have a special programme for you called 'Catching the stars'. These are just a few games and tips you might find on how to spot a star constellation you would like to see or spot. We love to spot star constellations and we just love sharing things with everyone!

Tips on how to find the star you want
*If you don't know how your constellation looks like, just type in the name of it. If you don't know the name of it, type in what it is. E.g Scorpio - Scorpion
*Search your constellation on google images and then when night comes, go outside and find it! Be careful to not get mixed up!

Fun Facts!
*Be careful. Some star groups may look like the constellation you are looking for, but make sure about the brightness of the stars, and the position of the stars.
*Its always good to lie down in blankets outside and watch the stars glitter and move about at different hours at night.

Fun star game
Stare at a stare for a minute, then close your eyes and wait for a minute or two. Still stare at the star when you do it. Then, open your eyes, and the star vanishes!
Warnings: Be careful at which star you choose. Because some of them are too bright and some may not work. Our advice is to stick with the very faint or just faint stars.
