Resource List!

This is a list of links for you to use when looking for information about your constellation.  You must use these links for researching your constellation.  You MAY NOT conduct a web search of your own unless you have cleared the keywords you will be using with your teacher.  DO NOT MAKE UP A URL and type it in.

This is a table of constellations.  It has some very good information.  You click on the abbreviated name of your constellation and you will be taken to an informational page.  You may need to scroll down a bit to see it all!

This is an online planetarium that shows you the constellations from different latitudes.  You can also find a picture of your constellation.  They have myths about the constellations.  You may read these but do not write your story about the myth you read.  I want your story to be original!

This is Sprocket Works Virtual night sky!  You will be looking at the northern hemisphere of the sky.  You can click on the stars to see the constellations and their names.  This would be a great place to see if you can locate your constellation.
