THE STARS IN WILDERNESS

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE :

Groups of stars remain visible throughout the night.

They move around the Polar Star, which seems to be not moving.

The pole star is located almost above polar north.

The Big Dipper, The Plough, the Orion, and the Cassiopeia all circle the Pole Star.

The best to use to navigate are the Big Dipper and The Plough.

In the Southern Sky, the Southern Cross provides us with directions to the South. It is a constellation of five stars.
