Orion constellation in 3D

Looking at the night sky, all civilizations (ancient and modern ones) have identified many different shapes that they have called constellations. But what are constellations? Are they formed by stars that are really near one to the other? We will learn about constellations by building a 3D, hands-on model of the Orion constellation, one of the most famous and visible objects of the night sky. And by doing so, we will also learn a lot about stars, about mythology, astronomical distances and much more.
