It differs from many maps because it can be used any hour of the night and any night of the year. Held vertically, the bot- tom toward the horizon, our map shows the sky for an observer facing north in our mid-northern Cana- dian latitudes around. mid-May about 9 p.m. Standard Time. Turn it counter-clockwise by one of the 24 divisions radiating from the centre for each hour it is later than 9 o'clock; clockwise for each hour it is earlier. Polaris, the star central to the map and the one star in the sky that stays in the same place while all others circle it continuously, is not brilliant. To find it, face north. - Then locate Ursa Major, the Great Bear of Greek mythology, perhaps the best known and most loved of all constellations and often the first learned by beginning stargazers. It is easily recognized because its seven brightest stars (the hindquarters of the Bear) trace the familiar outline of the Big Dipper. Locate the two "'bowl" stars opposite the handle of the Dipper. These two stars are called the "Pointers" because they point in the general direction of Po- laris. Polaris is in Ursa Minor, the Les- ser Bear, and marks the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper. Unfor- tunately, only its three brightest stars can be seen from the city, so it is difficult to distinguish the Dipper shape. But it can be seen from dark locations or with binoculars. Note how the two Dippers are arranged so that one always pours into the other.

Saturn is above the horizon all night, rising in the east about sunset and setting in the west at sunrise. Mars is still a morning object. Ris- ing about midnight it is in the south at sunrise. Jupiter can be seen above the eastern horizon for about two hours before sunrise. It is the brightest object in the predawn sky. v Mary Grey, Curator, Astronomy For more information, write: SKYSHEETS, National Museum of Science*& Technology, 1867 St. Laurent Blvd., Ottawa K1A OM8.
