Stars

I wanted to be out during the night; but had the fear of the dark; until I looked up at the sky and tried to locate the constellations : Corona Borealis, Bootes, Cygnus, Lyra, Orion('s belt), to name a few. We moved to a place more dark to see the milky way, and located other constellations : Aquarius, Libra, Herculus, Leo, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor; admist lots of other stars - Twinkle, twinkle little stars that are million years old!.

Isn't it so wonderful that our eyes are able to penitrate the time bounds ?

Hi Anonymous,
The direction in which you can find a constellation depends on from the place you are looking from and the time of the year. Can you let me know from which city you want to locate?
