Now that we've figured out patterns with the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth, we're curious if there are other patterns that exist with all the other stars that are out there!
Using some research, we identified some visible constellations from the northern hemisphere (where we live) and figured out when we see them (like during which months).
We know that the Earth makes a trip around the Sun in one year, and that each of the twelve months in our calendar makes up a certain number of those days each. With our research, we pinpointed when we see each constellation, uncovering that we see most constellations during multiple months.
From there, we figured out that over the range of months the constellation is seen, we could place the constellation in the middle of that range. Lo and behold, we built out a map of when we see the various constellations, and also uncovered that every year, at the same exact time, we see the same constellations! Another pattern yet again!

We're really curious about all the stars that make up each of the constellations, so we'll be digging deeper to do some research. Before long, we'll be putting all the pieces together about all these patterns we've figured out in the sky!
