The next monthly meeting of the RASC Halifax Centre will be held on

Friday, March 15th, 2013, 8:00 p.m.!
Room AT101, Atrium Building, Saint Mary's University

All Welcome!

There will be a presentation on:   Why Ursa Major Doesn=92t Look Like a =20=

Bear, and Other Clues to the Origin of the Constellations

By Professor David Turner of Saint Mary=92s University

Historical astronomers have used the shapes, sizes, and orientations =20
in the sky of celestial constellations to establish where, when, and =20
why they were first delineated. Constellation lore marks a lengthy =20
oral history of mankind that may trace back to our earliest roots. It =20=

is a story worth retelling, particularly in an era of ever-growing =20
light pollution that threatens to make the pages more difficult to =20
read and interpret. Exactly how much of the history of mankind is =20
=93written in the stars?=94 Perhaps all of it?
