Thanks to our new Adironadack chair, we’ve been stargazing on these clear, cool nights. This year, I’ve learned a new constellation: Boötes.
He’s also know as the Herdsman, because he’s right back of Ursa Major, shepherding it and and the other stars around the North Pole. Also, did you know Arcturus is one of the brightest summer stars? Now you do.
If you’re looking for a good app to play along with us, try Sky Guide. We love it. Just touch the name of a star or constellation and it provides all sorts of background and more informaiton.
