5. Stars that never set below the horizon from a given latitude; they circle the pole
8. A recognizable pattern of stars traditionally named after mythological characters or objects
11. The line where the Earth (or sea) and sky meet

1. The compass direction along the horizon, measured in degrees from north
2. The movement of a body (like Earth) around another body (like the Sun); one orbit
3. The celestial coordinate comparable to latitude, measured north or south of the celestial equator
4. Ascension The celestial coordinate comparable to longitude, measured eastward along the celestial equator
6. The imaginary line that runs from North to South through the zenith; it divides the sky into East and West
7. A band of constellations along the ecliptic where the Sun, Moon, and planets appear to move
