2000 years ago the Ancient Greeks were the first people who looked up at the night sky and divided up all of the stars into 88 groups, naming each for creatures, things, and people who were part of their legends and stories.

Star charts will also be given out to pinpoint these 5 constellations in the night sky during this time of year.
