    Do you love to stare up at the night sky? In the past, people navigated the seas, created calendars, and planted their crops by observing the movement of the sun, moon and stars. Learn about the contributions of ancient Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian, and American civilizations to the field of astronomy. Explore monuments, such as Stonehenge, created to mark important events like the solstice and build a model of your favorite with friends. Listen to myths based on the stars and then draw your own constellation in the sky and create a story about its origin.
