Bringing news from across the Universe to children all around the world
Focus Junior, the most popular children's magazine in Italy, has published a fantastic double-page spread about constellations from the Italian UNAWE team. Including a map of the Northern and Southern night skies, showing all the most famous constellations and features. The idea is to educate children about the night sky, with an includes explanation of how to locate the constellations using the North Star. It also stimulates the imagination with cosmic myths from many different cultures: Greek, Roman, Native American (Chinook), Aborigines, and the children are encouraged to describe the shapes and stories they can see in the stars.
