Took our Australian exchange student out to show her Polaris. Since she's from the Southern Hemisphere, she's never seen the stars that are below the horizon in Sydney.
Of course, Libby has the Southern Cross and I haven't seen that, so she has me there.
Also showed her:
- Pliedes
- Orion
- Gemini
- and a few of the names that I know in the area:
- Betalguese
- Sirius
- Castor
- Pollux
