"GLAD you brought up brightness! Polaris IS the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, but it is certainly NOT the brightest star in our night sky," he said with a wide grin and some head bobbling. "Polaris is a moderately bright star. The brightest star in our sky, however, is something completely different." Pause and slight wiggly eyebrows towards the seventh year. "Care to venture a guess?"
That was really a question to anyone who thought they had an answer.
Jory laughed at Professor Airey and his wiggly eyebrows. The man was funny.
"Er...I think it's Sirius? Or it could be the Sun.'' he said. Which one was it? Te Puffer didn't know for sure.

"So we know that Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor are all constellations that revolve around Polaris. Given that it is December, what other constellations should you expect to find?" He would keep a running list.
Complicated charts but Jory tried to follow as best as he could. They
were fascinating. He raised his hand.
"Professor, Orion will be visible in December.'' He liked that name. Orion. It reminded him of the cat in Men in Black 3 that was named Orion.
