This lesson will teach you how to learn the names of
the constellations and where they are in the sky. I did this when I was
11 years old and it worked very well. Today I still know the names
of many bright stars and constellations and know exactly where they are
anytime during the day or night throughout the year.
There is also a project that you can do with this lesson.
