Northern Sky Star Mapping

In this episode, I describe how I got interested in space as a young boy. Then I give a description of how to draw a basic star map for the Northern Sky in March. This was recorded for a friend's podcast (Covid19Ed Podcast) intended for a younger audience isolated at home during the Covid crisis. I sum up with a reference to Carl Sagan's story of Contact and where we can find intelligent life.
