Conclusion

• Overall, the study of constellations has been
  interesting. I have learned so many new facts
  that I had never learned about constellations,
  and hopefully so did you. Even though it has been
  challenging finding the right sources, in the
  end, I have a completed slide show. But I still
  wonder if the mythology behind the constellations
  is true or not. There is always more to
  learn.?????????????????
