Astronomy For Kids: Bull Ridin' Taurus
Now that we've discovered the easy constellation of Orion "The Hunter", it's time to take a look at what else is around! Instead of chasing down game with a bow and magic sword, this time we'll be cowboys and rope the heavenly steer – Taurus – and take him for a ride! There won't be any rodeo clowns to keep us safe. Just you and me and a starry night. Your mission? Locate Orion again.
Astronomy For Kids: Orion – The Star Hunter
If you've been peeking out the windows at night, or maybe looked up while walking the dog before bedtime or taking out the trash after dinner, perhaps you've seeb three fairly bright stars in a row. Depending on how early or late you look, you may see them lined up side-by-side above the horizon, or they may be one on top the other when they are setting to the west. If you've noticed them, you wouldn't be the first… Humankind has been telling stories about this set of stars for centuries!
