Folklore - Venus & The Pleiades - The Birth of the Brightest Morning Star and the Evening Sparkle Stars

Hosted by our show’s Director, Avivah Yamani. I will tell you a story from Mongolia about the birth of the brightest morning star and the evening sparkle stars. This story is part of the Stars of Asia Project during the International Year of Astronomy in 2009. Here’s the story.    Once upon a time there lived six brothers in a family. One day they gathered and discussed the idea of traveling the world.    They then decided to travel separately and go in 6 different directions so they can learn more, get new knowledge and learn magic powers. They agreed to come back home after 3 years.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
