Look at the stars
March 7, 2008 – 10:50 amPerhaps looking at stars is not the most practical thing, at least definitely not useful in Sherlock Holmes’ world (as established in A Study in Scarlet, where Holmes doesn’t even know about the solar system…). Anyway, if you have the slightest interest of knowing where the Orion is, and how to find the North star, take a look at this website. Who knows, maybe it’ll launch you on your future astronomy career. And at least now you know where north is at night, though that probably won’t mean much when you’re lost in the tropics on a cloudy night. Besides, chances are you have no idea whether you’re supposed to go north, south, east, or west.
