Cygnus the Swan Constellation, also sometimes called the Northern Cross (as an asterism), is a beautiful star pattern to find in the summer months. It is part of the summer triangle asterism. The bright star Deneb, along with Vega and Altair, are the three stars the make up the summer triangle. If you can identify these stars, you can find Cygnus this way. Cygnus also sits within the Milky Way Galaxy. Be sure to look for this brilliant constellation in the summer sky. Do you speak another language?

Boötes- sometimes described as the bear-hunter, sometimes the ox-driver, and connected to the woeful tale of Icarius for the Greeks. But to some, he was much more, for he was considered to be the good shepherd calling us to Truth. We’ll be diving into Boötes and his myriad of stars this Sunday on Constellation Stories with Helen Avery, pointing Slooh’s telescopes to its brightest star, Arcturus – that made Whitman declare: All earthly joys forgot and all earthly fears Purged in the light of thy resplendent sphere. Each star has its own tale to tell and some have many more as many double and triple stars make up this familiar pattern that resembles more of a kite than a man. And, amid the stories of this ancient constellation, we’ll pay a visit to a couple of galaxies and a star cluster for good measure.

Johannes Hevelius was many things – a mayor, a lawyer, a beer-maker – but he also mapped the moon and named several constellations including Canes Venatici (the hunting dogs). Some say it was an accident – that the dogs were actually the weapon of Bootes and a mistranslation turned the stars into canines. Some say that the bright stars were always Bootes faithful friends who stood watch over his dying body in one of many stories surrounding him. However these stars came to be known and named, one thing is for certain – they host a staggering number of jewels: unusual galaxies, edge-on galaxies, spiral galaxies (the Whirlpool and the Sunflower), the less romantically-named compact spiral M94, and of course, the globular cluster M3 – the very first object discovered by Charles Messier himself. Join us on Slooh this Sunday for Constellation Stories with Helen Avery as we turn our telescopes to these two hounds Asterion and Chara, and get a close up with the deep sky objects that surround them.

Join Helen Avery at 9pm ET (01:00UTC) for Tales of the Great Bear. Ursa Major, the great bear - the most well-known constellation in our night sky. But what do we know about her? Can you name her stars, for example? They have wonderful names like Merak and Dubhe and Alkaid. And do you the stories of this Great Bear? They date back, some say, about 50,000 years to the time of a Paleolithic bear culture. But they have followed us through history, telling of our connection to bears. We'll be looking into this connection, and telling tales of how this constellation has guided humanity throughout history, and diving into her midst to pick out her asterisms: a plow, a wagon, a coffin, skunk, camel, shark, canoe, bushel, sickle, three leaping gazelles and even a hog's jaw. And Slooh's telescopes will also be pointed on some distant objects hidden in her fur like the Owl Nebula and the Pinwheel Galaxy. As spring in the Northern hemisphere dawns, don't miss this opportunity to get to know our most beloved bear and her celestial wonders this Sunday on Slooh with storyteller, Helen Avery.

Who is this woman? Is she the Egyptian goddess, Isis, throwing heads of wheat across the milky way? Is she Astrea, the Goddess of Justice weighting the good and evil of man on the scales that appear nearby? Is she Prosepine who was carried off by Pluto? Why across large parts of the world is this constellation seen as woman carrying wheat, and is she the inspiration for the Virgin Mary? We'll be talking all things Virgo this week as we turn Slooh's telescopes up towards this zodiacal constellation, its alpha star Spica, and the galaxies that lie within the Virgo Cluster. If clear skies prevail we'll catch sight of the Sombrero Galaxy and the Butterfly Galaxies, among other objects including some Messier favorites. Hope you can join us!

Join us as we gather for tales around the telescope of the zodiacal constellation, Leo.

Sunday at 9PM ET with Helen Avery on Constellation Stories. Little Dog and Big Dog, Canis Minor and Canis Major... As we round out our Winter Circle of Stars, this Sunday we'll be honing in on two stars that have been seen as hounds or wolves across the globe for thousands of years - Procyon and Sirius, and the constellations they appear in. But whose dogs were these? And why were they so important to the Egyptians? Join us this Sunday at 9PM ET as we share tales around the telescopes of loyal companions, of the inundation of the Nile, and the dog days of Ancient Greece. Fingers crossed we may also see a few star clusters and galaxies while we're there!

Join Slooh storyteller Helen Avery this Sunday at 9pm ET for Constellation Stories of Monoceros. You may be surprised to learn that lurking between Orion’s dogs lies none other than a unicorn…, or rather – Monoceros, as this one-horned constellation is known. We’ll be sharing tales of this mythical (or is it..?) creature whose existence was sworn by Caesar, Marco Polo, Aristotle, North African missionaries, Sultans, and even the scribes of the Bible. But perhaps an even greater story is that of the very man who named this constellation - Pieter Platevoet, a Dutch astronomer, cartographer and clergyman. What was his role in the Dutch East India Company? How was it that he came to name the Southern constellations? And what did Platevoet have to do with Henry Hudson’s death…? In between tales we’ll be hoping to catch a glimpse through Slooh’s telescopes of the Rosette Nebula, the Christmas Tree Cluster, and, of course, as we sail to foreign lands in search of exotic mammals, we will certainly set anchor at the cluster Avery’s Island… We hope you will join our voyage into history and space!

Join us on Slooh at 9pm EST Sunday 28th January for stories of the constellation of Coma Berenices. Her name was Queen Berenice II, ruler of the Greek-Roman city of Cyrene, and after having her first royal husband killed, she went on to marry the Egyptian king, Ptolemy III – who, it seems, she liked somewhat better. Because, when he went on into battle, Berenice cut off her long hair and placed them in the Temple of Aphrodite as an offering for his safe return. But what happened to her luscious locks, and to the King? We’ll be tying up these loose ends as we get a closer look at the constellation Coma Berenices, taking in its three main stars, and the Coma Cluster, and the globular cluster M53 – could those be Berenice’s jeweled hairclips? And if the weather bestows us with good fortune, we’ll also be able to take a look through the mighty half-meter telescope Canary 1 to see the Black-Eye Galaxy, and the edge-on Needle Galaxy.

Join Helen Avery, Sunday 7th January from 9 to 10pm EST as she shares tales of Andromeda.

Sunday 17 December 9pm to 10pm ET Auriga, and the Star of Stars Join Helen Avery, Sunday 17th December from 9 to 10pm EST as she shares tales of Auriga, best-known as the charioteer, who can currently be seen driving his chariot across the winter night sky in the Northern Hemisphere. Not one of the better-known constellations, Auriga in fact is one of the easiest to identify, and has one of the richest histories with first mention being some 5,000 years ago. While Auriga may be thought of as a charioteer to the Greeks, some saw only the chariot that played a leading role in the fiery death of Phaeton which we will be seeing earlier this week in our Geminids show. But those who came before the Greeks saw a shepherd, carrying three little goats represented by three stars. It is these three stars that the poet Callimachus speaks of in 240 BCE, when he wrote: Tempt not the winds forewarned of dangers nigh, When the kids glitter in the Western Sky. The real gem in Auriga that we will be pointing our telescopes towards is Capella, the fifth brightest star in our night sky, and the star that lies in the heart of the largest goat. It was referred to by the ancients as The Star of Stars, and the ancient Egyptians oriented temples towards her. And in India, Capella was seen as the Heart of Brahma himself. And for good measure we’ll be dropping in on the eclipsing binary star Almaaz, the Flaming Star Nebula and the Gold Dust Cluster! We hope you join us online at Slooh.com for this special livecast deep into time and space, or take us with you out under the stars! Have any questions for Helen about Auriga? Want to share your stories or photos of the constellation, and how you see Auriga? Head to our online forum and join the discussion.

Join Helen Avery, Sunday 10th December from 9 to 10pm ET as she shares tales of humanity’s most ancient pair of twins — the Gemini constellation that can currently be seen glittering in the winter night sky in the Northern Hemisphere. Across different cultures and traditions spanning thousands of years, Castor and Pollux —the two bright stars and "twins" of the constellation Gemini — have been seen as a pair. In Arabian mythology the two stars are two peacocks. In Phoenician culture they were seen as a pair of kid goats. In ancient Egypt they represented two sprouting plants. Eskimos see the two as a pair of door-stones of an igloo. And the pair have most commonly been seen as two brothers — not just by those in the Northern Hemisphere, but also the aborigines of the South Pacific Islands. We’ll be turning our telescopes towards Castor and Pollux as we listen to the lore of Gemini – stories of sea voyages with the Argonauts, of ancient cities emerging under the watch of two stars, of Hindu Horseman, and of St. Elmo’s fire aboard Greek sailing vessels. And we’ll also be catching some of the hidden treasures within Gemini such as the Eskimo nebula, and a galactic star cluster. We hope you join us online at Slooh.com for this special livecast deep into time and space, or take us with you out under the stars! Have any questions for Helen about Gemini? Want to share your stories or photos of the constellation, or your memories of seeing it? Head to our online forum and join the discussion.
