The upper part is called the northern hemisphere, and the one below the line is the southern hemisphere.

The majority of the countries in the world are in the northern hemisphere-about one hundred and sixty countries. You can search for them on the Internet with the help of an adult or in an encyclopedia.

If you live in the northern hemisphere, you will be able to see a very bright star travelers used since ancient times to orient themselves because it always points north. Do you know what star it is? lt is the North Star, also called Polaris.

The North Star is part of a set of seven stars that make up the constella­tion of the Little Dipper, also known as Ursa Minor, which in Latin means «Little Bear.»

But there is a constellation whose stars can be seen from both hemispheres, the north and the south. That’s why it is a constellation well known around the world, and is very special. The Bible mentions it along with other constellations that God created, such as the Big Dipper and the Pleia­des. I’m referring to the constellation Orion, and I’m going to tell you something that might interest you ..

On December 16, 1848, Ellen G. White received a vision from God in which she saw an open space in Orion. From that place came the voice of God, and from there will also come down the Holy City of God, the New Earth that Jesus is preparing for us to live with Him for all eternity.You can read this vision in the book Early Writings, p. 41.
