This 24 x 28.5 inch poster shows the major constellations visible year-round from the northern hemisphere. With the lights on, the dark blue poster displays stars connected by lines to highlight the constellations. Each constellation is labeled with both the formal and common name, for example Ursa Major, the Great Bear. With the lights off, the lines and labels disappear and the "stars"� glow brightly all by themselves. The stars continue glowing for about twenty minutes before the poster has to be exposed to light again. Forty-five major constellations are included on the poster. The poster is made from glossy, somewhat heavy paper so it is fairly durable. ~ Rachel S.
