Geocache Description:

As Canadians, we take pride in our starry skies, northern lights, and large stretches of wilderness. Saskatchewan's vast open landscape holds above it some of the darkest skies in Canada, and as such some of the best places for astronomical observing. This series of caches is named after the stars and constellations you may see as you look up.

Naos (HIP 39429)

Naos is a blue giant star in the constellation Puppis. At 1,082 light years away, it is the 66th brightest star in the Earth's sky, where it shines at an apparent visual magnitude of 2.21. Naos is a component of a multiple-star system. It is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 58.7 km/s relative to the Sun.
