520 _a"The stars and planets have been a constant source of fascination since the earliest of times. You have only to look up into the night sky to understand what a sacred and profound mystery they must have seemed to ancient civilizations. As a result, different cultures have tried to explain the existence of these heavenly bodies with a host of myths and legends. This book explains the folklore behind the names and shows how to locate the constellations in the night sky."--Back cover
