constellations?

Question

Does anyone know where I could find flash cards for the 88 constellations?

Answer 1

The first link has all 88 constellations listed and depicted:
http://www.coldwater.k12.mi.us/lms/planetarium/myth/index.html
The deck I have is here but it only has 48 cards: http://www.puffins.com/knowledgepg13.html
This one has flashcards online but only 28 of them:

Here is another http://www.amazon.com/Constellations-Learning-School-Specialty-Publishing/dp/0742406318/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196052868&sr=8-1

Answer 2

You'll have a hard time finding these because flash cards aren't a good way to learn the constellations; in fact they're just about useless. Constellations are learned one at a time by relating the new stars to the ones you know, in other words, by context, not brute memorization. Also they are best learned by actually looking at the real sky, not dots on a page. Find an astronomy club, and get one of the oldtimers to give you a tour of the current constellations.

Answer 3

i don't know where to find flashcards but you can make your own perhaps.


if you go to school ask your physical science department for an SC001 chart, it has all the stars mapped out in the sky. you can label them yourself using those guides online. I think you can also purchase that star map at a bookstore or online. The SC001 chart helps for finding the constellations. Also the library has books labeling the constellations. You can make copies of each one on heavy paper so that you can cut them out to make your own flashcards? i hope this helps.

Answer 4

The Box of Stars, by Catherine Tennant may do it for you. The illustrations are from an old pictorial atlas, rather than the more mnemonic stick figures, but the principal stars are marked by holes in the cards so you can hold them up to the light and see the pattern. I'm not sure it's still in print, but it looks like it's still readily available.

Answer 5

That would be a neat idea, but no, I haven't seen anything like that. I learned all the constellations without them. It takes time, but you can do it.
