Taurus / Tau
Taurus
A bright orange eye and a scattering of blue stars. Taurus combines an easy celestial landmark with one of the most striking star clusters.
Ursa Major / UMa
Ursa Major
The Big Dipper helps you navigate the northern sky. But its seven familiar stars are only part of Ursa Major: the official region is much larger.
Ursa Minor / UMi
Ursa Minor
Polaris marks the end of the Little Dipper's handle. It helps you find north, but the other stars in the pattern require darker skies.
Virgo / Vir
Virgo
Spica marks the way to Virgo in the spring sky. Its bright stars belong to the Milky Way, while in the same direction lie galaxies whose light takes tens of millions of years to reach us.
