While difficult to see the stars during the summer months in the land of the midnight sun, winter stargazing is out of this world in the Last Frontier. Most places in Alaska have very little light pollution where it is easy to get away and enjoy the beautiful night sky. On today's episode, we discuss many of the constellations you can see in the Alaskan sky and some of the mythical stories behind them. How many constellations are there? How did a constellation asterism end up on the Alaska state flag? And what animals did Zeus turn into in order to seduce the ladies?! It's the episode you'll listen to under the stars!
