Constellations and Their Myths: The Stories Behind our Stars

From the Navajo to the Australian Aborigines, and from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the myths of ancient Greece, the pictures formed by the stars have helped us remember people of the past, guided us across oceans, and reminded us who we are--or who we could be.
