The big dipper was the first constellation I learned, and from it I was able to learn the North Star's location easily. I've been rereading James Mitchener's "Hawaii," and it was fascinating to read about how the Bora Borans sailed into the unknown and found Hawaii. The book is a novel, I know, but it was really poignant to read about their sadness at their familiar southern constellations disappearing forever as they sailed north in their huge canoe, and then their excitement and wonder when they found a fixed star in the north to help them navigate. I hope that you had a lovely Easter!

I can barely imagine what a year is or a mile. I'm very limited in my distance and time assessments. Still I love reading about our stars and what's out there beyond my comprehension.
