Last Sunday we watched the very popular new show, Cosmos, which is a remake of the famous Carl Sagan series from the 1980’s. In this episode, the astronomer Haley sailed south to chart the stars of the southern hemisphere in the 1600’s. Have you ever wondered what the sky down under looks like? Do they see any of the same constellations we see at night?
Well, actually, they see most of the same constellations we do, but sort of upside down. Here are snapshots from my amateur astronomy software, Starry Night.
