WOULD YOU GO MOST ANYWHERE TO FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG?
SO WOULD HERCULES; BUT HE’S NOT TOO BRIGHT, SO THIS WEEK IS A GOOD TIME TO LOOK FOR HIM.
HIT THE DARKNESS AT ELEVEN PM THIS WEEK LOOKING EAST.
THE BRIGHTEST STAR YOU CAN SEE A BIT TO THE LEFT IS VEGA.
UP AND TO THE RIGHT OF VEGA IS THE KEYSTONE ASTERISM.
THAT’S THE BODY OF HERCULES!
HE’S ON HIS SIDE FACING TOWARD THE HORIZON RIGHT NOW.
HERCULES WAS SAID TO HAVE CAUSED THE DEATHS OF LEO THE LION, CANCER THE CRAB, AND HYDRA AND MANY-HEADED SNAKE.
TO FIND THESE, FLIP ONE EIGHTY AND FACE SOUTHWEST.
LEO HAS A BACKWARD QUESTION MARK FOR A HEAD LOOK FOR REGULUS, HERE CANCER LOOKS LIKE A BACKWARDS Y ON IT’S SIDE MARS IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIM RIGHT NOW AND HYDRA IS REALLY DIM, BUT STRETCHES ACROSS THE SKY TO THE LEFT, ON A DARKER NIGHT YOU MIGHT SEE ALPHARD BELOW REGULUS FROM ZERO TO HERO, YES INDEED!
KEEP LOOKING UP.
