Q:
Go outside, look for the plane of the Milky Way in the sky (you may have to make a special trip to somewhere relatively dark to be successful).

Preview: ... the sky, from horizon to horizon. One thing that is striking about the distribution of these stars is that, at the middle of the sky, there extends a broad faint band of stars that seem far away and closely packed that one does not really distinguish between individual stars that are close together. It therefore appears to be a white (like milk) band running from one horizon to the other. This band is known as the Milky Way.
The ancient people called it the Milky Way because all they could see is the dim broad ba ...

Harvest and hunting matched the seasons of fall and spring, giving names to the images in the sky. Deep winters in the far north and south were associated with t ...
