Every natural object you can see in the sky rises in the east

and sets in the west, pretty nearly once every 24 hours.

(Yes, we know. The stars are 4 minutes early, and the moon is

45 minutes late. But we're being very general here.)

Exactly the same way you use a road-map. Find one thing on the star-chart that looks likewhat you see in the sky. Then go from there, in any direction you want, and the star-chartshows you the names and shapes of everything you see as you move around the sky.The star-chart is a map of the stars and constellations. You set it up in the proper positionfor your location, the time and date, and which direction you're facing, and the things onthe map are set up to look just as they do in the sky.
