I was on a hiking trip on the Fourth of July when I looked up and there they were 12 stars shining bright stood out from the rest. It was 7:00 PM sharp and I got home around 11:30 PM. I looked up at my strange new discovery and at 12:00 AM, it disappeared.
I looked at my book of constellations, but I didn’t see it. I wanted to call an observatory, but decided not to. Then, one year later, on the Fourth of July, I saw it again. I called an observatory. They said it was a new discovery and told me to give it a name and a story.
I looked at it for hours then they started to form a shape. Three stars looked like the letter C. Another three looked like the letter U. The last 6 looked like a top hat. I decided since I was learning about Lincoln in social studies the middle 6 made me think of his top hat. The three on the right that looked like a u could stand for Union. The three on the left could stand for confederacy. I could call this discovery constellation, Lincoln.
     I still kept on thinking of a story for this constellation.  I saw it again the day a president moved into the White house after the race for president. Then, I thought of a story. It went like this.
When war parted the nation, Lincoln would pray every night that the war would end soon. He would often pray with some injured Union soldiers. Then, a week later, he met some southern injured soldiers and prayed with them.  They all felt that Northern and Southern fighting must end soon so the North and the South prayed together, like brothers. God was so pleased that he reserved two very important spots in the universe for him.
    The Lincoln constellation would show up July 4th and when a president moved into the white house, or if something great was about to happen to the United States.
