“After only a brief read of Stikky Night Skies, you feel compelled to run outside to test your new-found navigational skills.”
—NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON, Astrophysicist and Director, Hayden Planetarium, New York City
You are guaranteed to learn 6 constellations, 4 stars, a planet, a galaxy, and how to navigate at night-in one hour with this unique, step-by-step learning method. Each step builds on what came before and reinforces it. That way, by the time you reach the end of the book, you will be confident in finding your way around much of the sky. What you learn will serve as 'hooks' that you can hang future learning on.
The book also teaches you how to find which direction is north by reading the stars, so you will be able to navigate at night without a compass.
How to use Stikky Night Skies:
Sequence One introduces the constellation Orion and its famous star Betelgeuse, constellations Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper, and tells you where to look for planets in the sky. It also teaches you how to find the star Polaris and use it to figure out which way is north. You should read this sequence in one sitting if possible.
Sequence Two builds on what you have learned in Sequence One, adding constellations Cygnus, Taurus and the Pleiades, stars Sirius and Vega, and the Milky Way galaxy. Ideally, you should leave a few days, but no more than a week, between completing Sequence One and reading Sequence Two.
The Epilogue, a special feature of Stikky books, brings together everything you have learned and reinforces it in some new and unfamiliar situations. Again, you should leave a few days between completing Sequence Two and reading the Epilogue.
