Detailed Description:
This spring program mixes stargazing, mythology, and science in an imitation of the CSI television series...

Far off in space an unknown star was blown away. The Astronomical Scene Investigation team tracked it down in the autumn, but was left with a puzzle when the star seemed brighter than it should have been for its distance.

Under the springtime stars, the agents review the orientation process by using the Big Dipper to locate Polaris, the North Star. The team follows the sun through the zodiacal constellations as they discover Earth's movement around the sun causes the evening constellations to change with the seasons.
