• The Night Sky: Northern Hemisphere Stargazer Map and Guide is centered on Polaris, the North Star, which appears fixed in place with the other stars rotating around it
• The 88 constellations recognized today by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) are not just pictures but basic units that partition the sky
• As the Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun, the constellations in the sky change, so the Night Sky map includes 4 seasonal charts: spring, summer, autumn and winter
• Constellations and brighter stars are labeled with their Latin names
• Map includes a table of star magnitude or brightness
• Each Stargazer map is printed on waterproof, tear-resistant and durable synthetic paper that's capable of withstanding the rigors of repeated outdoor use
