Camelopardalis

Hello, Legoman here. I was cleaning my book shelf, and I came across a constellation report I wrote in school. I think it is pretty interesting, so I'll share it with you:





If you looked out into the sky at night and then saw a figure looking like a four legged animal, you could be seeing the constellation Camelopardalis. The word is Latin for giraffe. The Greeks called the constellation, "Camel-leopard" because they thought the giraffe had a head of a camel and the spots of a leopard. If you want to see Camelopardalis, it is located in the Northern Sky. It is worth seeing, so check it out at night!
