Viewing Constellations Anytime

Make a photocopy of constellations from your star map. Place the copy of constellation on the top of a piece of black paper. Place both on a piece of modelling clay.

Pierce small pins through the stars on the photocopy. Make a tube of card. On one end glue a piece of black paper. Cut another circle of paper and make a hole in the centre, glue this on the other end of the tube.

Now point the constellation towards light in the room and have a glance of the constellation from the viewer's hole.

Star Glasses

Cut two star shapes from a chart. Make holes large enough to see in the centres. Paste coloured cellophane paper on the eyeholes.

Glue the stars and attach studs to hold the stars on your eyes.
