SPECIAL MATCH THE SKY MODEH One good way to point out constellations to beginners (especially youngK children) is to make a set of constellation charts at the same exact scaleI as what they will see in the sky. Constellations are BIG in the sky butH usually appear small on star charts. Getting used to the difference in/ scale can be a problem in itself for children.L MATCH THE SKY charts should be designed to be held 12 to 18 inches in frontI of the eyes. They show only a small portion of the sky, so they fail toJ show the constellations in context. Context is important in learning theN constellations, so these charts should supplement rather than replace smaller
scale charts.
