Today:
Looking due east at 7:10 this evening, Leo the Lion begins to climb above the horizon, with the Twins of Gemini much higher. About halfway between them, and halfway up from the horizon, search for a faint sprinkling of stars, called the “Beehive”, a swarm of stars in the faint constellation Cancer, the Crab. Looking slightly away from them will make it easier to see them.
