The resources at the Mt. Wilson Observatory facilitate student learning of the constellations. As students (grades 4-12) progress thru a quizgame at the Mt. Wilson site, additional explanations are provided. While the same information could be acquired offline, this site offers three advantages: the constellations are presented in an attractive format, the details are more wide-ranging than other sources on the same topic, and each viewer can request a personal starmap. Considering that this planetarium is “flat”, the show is pretty good.
