These star pictures–constellations–represented myths and legends from the various cultures that still fascinate us today.
Author of the tremendously popular Where Is Our Solar System? Stephanie Sabol relates many of the most popular constellation stories and explains what stars actually are: how they formed, why they die, and how they’re grouped into constellation families.
