Once, the sky was full of stories. Ancient cultures filled the heavens with heroes and monsters, and spent nights telling epics and memorizing patterns in the stars.

These days, the stars are a little less familiar. Our skies are full of light pollution and, usually, obscured by a sturdy roof. But if you can get away from the city lights, you can still find a handful of the 88 officially recognized constellations with the help of this video guide, which allows you to look around in 360 degrees, mimicking the actual experience of stargazing.

“‎You have to be the kind of person who can make the best out of a Tuesday. You know those people who live for the weekends? They’re wishing their life away. You have to find something worth living for or else you’ll look back and realize you’ve wasted your life away.”

In ancient times, karasu, the crows and ravens of Japan, were not maligned as garbage-strewing pests, but revered as messengers of the gods and bringers of good fortune. In Japanese mythology, the three-legged Yatagarasu guided legendary first emperor Jinmu, and many Shintō shrines still hold obisha matsuri around the lunar New Year in which parishioners pray to an archery target  bearing the image of karasu.

The Japanese language lumps five distinct species of corvids together under the term karasu, the most common of these being the hashiboso garasu (”narrow-beaked crow”) and hashibuto garasu (”broad-beaked crow”). The migratory miyama garasu (rook), kokumaru garasu (jackdaw), and watari garasu (northern raven) are less dispersed, but can be spotted in some areas during certain times of the year.
