Spring Sky
The northern spring evening sky, when Leo, Virgo, and Boötes ride high and the great galaxy fields of the Virgo and Coma clusters are best placed.
Seasons here are for the northern mid-latitudes; from the southern hemisphere they are reversed. For tonight's actual sky at your location, use the computed Tonight dashboard.
