Did you know there’s a crocodile constellation? Or a loon? Or a canoe?
Journey to the darkest places on Earth to learn about the Greek, Egyptian, Arab, Chinese, Korean and Norse constellations LIVE with astronomy journalists Peter McMahon and Rick Stankiewicz.
This world-exclusive planetarium experience is based on Peter‘s upcoming book on the same topic with OWL Kids Canada (most of our shows are companions to wide-release 
book or magazine projects from our presenters – an exclusive to our dome.)

- a hippo
- the Sasquatch (Bigfoot)
- lizards
a caribou- a waterfall
- and many more…
You’ll also find out about the constellations of ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs, Maori, and Polynesians, as well as the Inuit and North American First Nations such as the Lakota, Navajo, Blackfoot, Cree, Ojibway, and many others.
