Today:
In the east-southeast appears the commonly defined Winter Triangle of stars, composed of Sirius, Procyon, and Betelgeuse. But the presence of the transient Jupiter lets us use Betelgeuse to form additional triangles, one connecting it with Procyon and Saturn, and the other linking Betelgeuse to Saturn, and then to high-flying Capella.
