STAR CLOCK
LITTLE DIPPER
How to use your Star Clock—
• Go outside and find the Big Dipper and North Star.
• Face the North Star.
• Turn the outer circle of the Star clock so the current
month is at the top.
• Turn the inner circle until the picture of the Big Dipper
lines up with the Big Dipper in the night sky.
• Read the time in the window. Remember to add an
hour if it's daylight saving time.
