I LOVE SHOWS AND MOVIES WITH FANTASY DRAGONS, LUCKILY, THERE’S A DRAGON IN THE SKY WE CAN POINT TO, COMPLETE WITH FAMILY DRAMA ALL AROUND IT!
HIT THE DARKNESS AT FOUR AM AND FACE NORTH TO FIND QUEEN CASSIOPEIA LOOKING LIKE THE LETTER W. DIRECTLY ABOVE HER ARE FIVE STARS THAT LOOK LIKE A HOUSE, THAT’S HER HUSBAND, KING CEPHEUS.
TO THE LEFT OF CEPHEUS ARE THE TWO DIPPER ASTERISMS, PART OF THE BEARS, URSA MAJOR AND MINOR.
HOWEVER, RIGHT ABOVE AND BETWEEN THEM IS ANOTHER CIRCUMPOLAR CONSTELLATION IS DRACO, BUT UNLIKE TV DRAGONS, HE’S TOUGH TO SEE   HIS BRIGHTEST STAR IS ELTANIN, HERE, MARKING HIS HEAD.
DRACO WINDS HIS WAY FROM CEPHEUS’S RIGHT AROUND THE BIG DIPPER UP INTO THE SKY.
IF IT’S VERY DARK, YOU SHOULD SEE HIM!
THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE SILVER HAIR OF A TARGARYEN, OR THE GOLD-HOARDING OF A TOLKIEN SMAUG   BUT THIS ANCIENT CONSTELLATION HAS PLENTY OF STORIES OF HIS OWN.
KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
