Legends of the Zodiac: EQUINOX

For centuries, people have been fascinated by the motions of the sun, moon and planets among the stars. Special importance was placed on the position of the sun along the Zodiac (the star patterns that lay along the path of the sun, moon and planets). In, Legends of the Zodiac: EQUINOX, you'll learn why we keep track of time the way we do, why the Zodiac is so important in astronomy, what is meant by the term "equinox", and what causes the seasons. Finally, you'll be treated to a simulation of the night sky and we'll tell you the mythological stories concerning the zodiacal constellations visible near the upcoming Equinox, and show you where to find those star patterns in the sky.
