Transcript
How it works: On the reverse of this sheet are four constellations, all of which can be seen on summer nights in Colorado. Each constellation has five stars. For every book read, fill in one star. Each time you complete a constellation, bring this sheet to the teenseen to receive a prize and a raffle ticket for a drawing at the end of the program. Once you have completed all four constellations (20 books read), you will receive a prize, a raffle ticket, and a ticket to attend the end of the Summer Reading Program pool party! Happy Reading—and star-gazing! Vega Delphinus (The Dolphin) This little constellation actually looks like what it’s called. Once the sky is real dark, look east-southeast to identify the leaping dolphin! Lyra (The Lyre) This constellation represents a lyre, or ancient harp. Although it is small, Lyra is easy to find, because it contains the brightest star in the high eastern sky, called Vega! Once you have found Vega, look for a faint parallelogram to the lower right of it. Together, these five stars make up Lyra. Cassiopeia (The Queen) This constellation is easy to find! Look for the big “W” in the northern sky. The “W” represents the outline of Queen Cassiopeia tied to a throne. According to the Greek myth, this was her punishment for being extremely vain. Depending on the time of night and the season, the “W” will be right-side up, on one of its sides, or hanging upside-down. Cepheus (The King) This constellation looks more like a house than a king! Nevertheless, these stars represent King Cepheus who begged to be placed alongside his wife (Cassiopeia), because, despite her enormous ego, he remained deeply in love with her. Look for Cepheus in the northern sky, near Cassiopeia. Keep in mind that he might be upside-down!
