Today, you get to create your own constellation and tell the myth as to why or how it ended up in the sky. For inspiration, I've posted two common constellation stories below. I'd love to see pictures of your final constellations, so please send them my way! Draco the Dragon: Draco was said to be a dragon that had a hundred heads! He was in charge of protecting a golden apple tree for the Queen of the Gods, but he fell asleep on the job and was then banished into the sky. Orion: Orion is one of the most popular constellations because it can be seen almost anywhere. Orion is also known as 'The Hunter.' There are many myths about Orion. One of them said that he was bragging about how many animals he could kill, and was banished to the sky. Another says that he fell in love with a goddess and was killed by the goddess's brother. A final myth says that he was killed by a scorpion's sting (Scorpio, the Scorpion, is also a constellation). Office Hours:
