When Grandpa takes Sophie on a special stargazing trip, the young girl
is awestruck by the night sky.
Sophie lives in the big city, where light pollution has kept much of the
night sky hidden from view. So Grandpa takes her on a special stargazing
trip at his lake cabin. He introduces her to some of his favorite
constellations: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco.
He points out the Andromeda Galaxy and a shooting star (or meteor). The
young girl is awestruck by what she sees. She utilizes Grandpa's secret
tips--such following the curve of Ursa Major's tail to find the star
Arcturus--to learn more about stargazing.
Follow Sophie as she discovers some of the best-known constellations.
