“By piecing together all available information, we have recreated startlingly real monsters, monsters which, according to local Louisiana folklore, once roamed and preyed on the surrounding countryside in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.”
- Producer ofThe Alligator People (1959), Jack Leewood.
🌌Did you know? Polaris wasn’t always our “North Star.”
🔭Today, it’s the only star in a position that never seems to change. This is because Earth’s axis of rotation points directly at Polaris. But Earth’s axis of rotation slowly changes the direction in which it points. In 3000 B.C.E., a star called Thuban was our North Star, and about 13,000 years from now, it will be Vega.
