The sky over you, tonight
The whole sky as a round chart: the middle is straight up, the edge is the horizon. Turn it to the direction you face and slide through the night.

How to read it
- Hold the chart above your head with the 'facing' edge down, turned the way you look: the stars then sit where they are in the sky.
- Stars rise in the east and set in the west, about 15° an hour, as Earth turns; slide the time to see it.
- City light hides most of these stars; away from it you can see a few thousand at once.
