    • Great for learning constellations
Format: Cards
These are pretty cool if you want to play cards and want to learn about constellations. I bought them to use when we go camping to look at the sky and the cards. They are slightly larger than normal playing cards which is a bit odd, but still very useful for learning

    • Really cool playing cards!
Format: Cards
I ordered these cards as a gift for my husband and we both love them! They arrived in good condition and all are in good shape. We looked through them right after we received them in the mail and they were a lot of fun to look at and I already learned quite a bit! Each card has a different constellation on it, along with the name of the constellation, the pronunciation, the translation, and a more detailed picture with a drawing of what the full constellation looks like (in theory? :) ). They also have the best season for viewing on each card and they are organized by suit. For example, the heart suit is all spring. I especially liked that they have the pronunciation on the cards for the names of the constellations and that each card is different. The constellations are also organized by difficulty or ease in ability to find them in the sky. For a comprehensive example, the Ace of hearts is Ursa Major, which is pronounced ER-suh MAY-jur, means "the great bear", is easier to find in the sky (so it is a high card), and is easiest to spot in the Spring. We haven't actually played with the cards yet, but I am sure we will and they seem like they will be great. We are excited to use them for game night. The only issues we have noticed are pretty minimal. They are fit very tightly into the box so they are somewhat difficult to get in and out, but it is doable. The other is that they are slightly larger than normal cards so they would not easily mix with other decks. This is only an issue if this is something that you need to do, or an easy fix for that would be to just buy as many decks as you need of this deck! :) ... show more

I purchased these playing cards along with a Guide to the Stars wheel ( http://amzn.to/2iOhAsT ) for a gift. The wheel was a much bigger hit but the cards were a helpful addition to learning the stars one constellation at a time. Cons: -these are bigger than most playing cards -they do not have listed familiar names like the "Big Dipper" for "Ursa Major" -no clues on where to find them in the night sky Pros: -they are a good thick quality -lists the proper name of the star, the meaning of the name, diagram, and picture. -spells the names of stars phonetically -organizes stars by seasons ... show more

    • great gift for an astronomy nerd
Format: Cards
I bought this as a gift for someone who works at a planetarium and is studying astrophysics at a university. The deck really exceeded my expectations. The cards are printed on very sturdy cardstock and the images are clear. I liked it so much that I bought a second deck for myself!

    • CARDS and STARS: Fun Product
Format: Cards
This was. good pick for our card night. A few of us enjoy an amateur study of the night sky as our hobby and these cards and the night sky design is perfectly complimentary of our tastes. These re somewhat of a keepsake kind of deck. The maker’s of this one has plenty of other interesting designs for card time! Very good, small gift for a card player and no occasion needed for delivery this surprise that is sure to be appreciated. ... show more

    • Great and affordable flashcards for memorizing constellations.
Format: Cards
This was an inexpensive way of memorizing 54 constellations (52 playing cards and 2 jokers). I live at latitude 32.9 degrees North and covers most of the constellations viewable at this latitude. I don't use these for playing cards - inexpensive flashcards. I added labels showing Right Ascension values to memorize too. ... show more

    • No information on where to find the constellation.
Format: Cards
You get an image of the constellation's star pattern and a thumbnail image of the constellation's representation and the time of year it's seen the clearest and a card suit. Other than that, you are not informed exactly where to find a specific constellation. You'll need a star map to find it's exact location. There is an iPhone app for that, too. By the way, the Big Dipper is part of Ursa Major's constellation form and is always in the northern sky. It and the big W or M of Cassiopeia parallel each other and circle around Polaris, the true North star. I use those constellations a lot when I travel at night in the woods. Now that you know where north is, south, east, and west should be fairly easy to figure out. ... show more
