Can you use constellations to tell what season it is?
The constellations make a "complete circle" over the course of a year... that is, the stars that were visible at midnight on October 17 this year are the same ones that were visible on October 17 of last year, and so on. If you can roughly identify midnight and you're familiar with the constellations, you can make a pretty good guess as to the date just by looking up, and figuring out the season is much easier than that.
