Ep. 38 - Summer Sky Star Hopping

If you've ever wondered what you're seeing in the night sky as you lie on the dock or in a hammock in the backyard, then this episode is for you! I take you on a summer sky star-hopping adventure, as we identify stars and constellations, starting in the northern sky then swinging around to the south.After listening carefully to this episode, you will be able to identify the major stars and constellations. Once you feel confident, my advice is to go share your new knowledge with someone else. Knowledge is meant to be shared, and knowing the stars is something everyone is interested in.So get comfy in a reclining chair, grab a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate...plug in the headphones, and let me walk you through the stars.If you have further questions about other space-related themes, or would like to suggest a topic for a future podcast, please connect with me via any of the following:Twitter: @astrostephensonEmail: astrostephenson11@gmail.comWebsite: www.astrostephenson.ca
