Find a story in the sky
Draw a constellation card and explore its star pattern, Greek story, and reflection for your week.
Try the tool →Three small steps
Check where you are looking
Check the displayed location. Change it to explore a different sky; the default city is a starting point, not a claim about where you are.
Choose how to draw
Choose Draw what's near for a sky selection, At random for another constellation, or a name from the constellation list. Follow whichever path makes you curious.
Read stars and story separately
Notice the constellation lines, then read the myth and reflection. Check the sky details on the live card. A story can speak to you even when its constellation is below your horizon.
Words to recognize
- Constellation
- The named star pattern that gives this card its subject.
- Altitude
- The displayed angle above the horizon; it helps describe the live sky position.
- Azimuth
