Nate and Brad's Guide to Stars in the Southern Sky

From Dr. Nate and Bradley Barber, an Astrophysicist and comedy writer team, comes Nate and Brad’s Guide to the Stars in the Southern Sky. 


Nathan and Bradley were both living in rural Georgia when they discovered locals in their region were unable to accurately identify the constellations mapped out by the modern western world. Since it didn’t seem to matter to the indigenous Southerner what was where in the night sky, Nate and Brad set off to re-imagine the universe based on southern culture. 


Part educational tool and part cultural touchstone, Nate and Brad’s Guide to the Stars in the Southern Sky is as real as it is ridiculous. Can’t tell a planet from a crop-duster at dawn?  Fear not – all is revealed in a manner simple enough for a cub scout. The guide teaches the reader to find the “Yankee Star” (the “North Star”) with a 12-ounce can of the beverage of your choice. From there, depending on the season readers will discover “The Outhouse”, “The ‘Lil Brown Jug”, “The Possum” and much more. 


With new constellations comes new astrology as well, including the mythological tales that put these new bodies in the heavens. This humorous nighttime romp through the South is not to be missed.
