Celestia Forums

I think it's a great feature to have the Constellations labeled with their Proper Name, but I find it difficult explaining to young children and/or keeping their interest.

I would like to Verbose the Constellation Labels.
Please consider adding similar information below.
Also, are there any GNU image overlays for the constellation symbols? (e.g. http://pp3.sourceforge.net/wiki/uma.jpg)

Proper Name: Ursa Major
Colloquially Known As: Big Dipper
Symbolism: The Great Bear

Proper Name: Ursa Minor
Colloquially Known As: Little Dipper
Symbolism: The Little Bear
