Spring is beautiful and it is a good time to look for galaxies.

The sky provides a clear view of deep space objects. The position of the Milky Way in the sky has shifted so that the core of our galaxy is on the western horizon. In spring, the Big Dipper, along with the Little Dipper, is above Polaris (the North Star). Virgo stands out with its dense collection of galaxies. If you want more information on the spring constellations and how to identify them, make sure you’re in the right place, far from light pollution.

But also two significant meteor showers: the Lyrids and the Eta Aquariids.
