FALL HAS THE HEAVENLY G. WINTER HAS THE GIANT RUPEE.
AND SUMMER HAS A TRIANGLE TOO, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SUPER SPRING TRIANGLE?!
THESE THREE BRIGHT STARS ARE EASY TO SPOT IN SPRING.
LET’S*TR* GET IT?
HIT THE DARKNESS AT 11 PM, LOOKING EAST THIS ASTERISM IS SO BIG WE HAVE TO USE THE WIDE ANGLE.
FIRST USE THE BIG DIPPER AND ARC TO ARCTURUS.
IT’S THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN BOOTES THE HERDSMAN.
LOOK CAREFULLY.
CAN YOU SEE THAT ARCTURUS IS ORANGE?
REMEMBER THAT!
NEXT SPIKE FROM ARCTURUS TO SPICA SPICA; THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN VIRGO THE MAIDEN.
SPICA IS THE DIMMEST OF THE SUPER SPRING TRIANGLE, AND THE BLUEST TOO!
FINALLY MAKE TWO LINES UP FROM ARCTURUS AND SPICA TO FIND REGULUS, A BRIGHT, BLUE-WHITE STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LEO THE LION.
THIS IS THE LAST POINT OF OUR TRIANGLE.
THERE IT IS.
THE SUPER SPRING TRIANGLE!
BEHOLD IT’S MAJESTY KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
