It is not at all strange then, that the planets and the shapes of the stars were connected to Greek mythology. They became stories with dragons, gods and heroes that take the reader on a fascinating journey to starry skies with the overwhelming beauty of the tales for a guide. There is no better way for modern-day children to discover the secrets that the clear night sky hides. It is now time to find out how Orion was turned into a constellation, how Perseus saved Andromeda from the claws of a fearsome dragon, how Hera turned Callisto into a wild bear... And much more, how our galaxy was formed, what a red giant really is, how a black hole was created... Truly enchanting is this voyage to the depths of the starry skies.
