This week too, the starry sky master will bring you starry sky knowledge that you'll want to talk about tomorrow.

This time, we'll be looking at three unique spring constellations that are surprisingly little known.

 

[Coma Berenices]

Unlike other constellations that are formed by connecting bright stars, this is a unique constellation in which a star cluster made up of many stars resembles a strand of hair.

How to find Coma Berenices:"The Great Spring Triangle"It's a good idea to use this as a landmark, but the Great Spring Triangle is a large triangle formed by Arcturus in Boötes, Spica in Virgo, and Denebola in Leo, and it's easy to notice.

Located to the west of Arcturus and Deneb,Coma BerenicesSo, overall it's a surprisingly large constellation.

 

[Pump seat]

The pump seatNew constellations established by Lacaille in 1763.

To find Pump, go south from Regulus in Leo and look for the belly of Hydra.

 

[Cup Seat]

The Crater is a constellation shaped like an ancient Greek cup, rather than a modern drinking glass.

This was used in Greek times"Cratel"This cup is called a "cup," and depending on how you look at it, it can look like a large cup on top of a square base.

 

To find Crater, use the constellation Hydra, which sits on the back of Hydra and just west of the Corvus quadrilateral, as a landmark.

 

In spring, when the beautiful constellations shine brilliantly, why not gaze at the night sky at Grand Chariot Big Dipper 135° while thinking about the myths of the constellations? We look forward to seeing you there.
