you can't miss ultra-bright arcturus, the planet saturn, bright spica in the constellation virgo, and splendid leo, the lion. nestled among these bright lights is the faint constellation coma berenices. if your sky is good and dark, you'll see a delicate cloud of light in its upper-right corner, spangled with about a dozen closely packed stars. until then, this is tony flanders from "sky & telescope" magazine, wishing you clear skies and great views. >> brought to you by... serving stargazers since 1952. >> bill moyers: this week on moyers & company. >> marshall ganz: an organizer starts by asking not, "what's my issue?" but "who are my people?"

center stage in the south, once the sky is fully dark, is the planet saturn, with slightly fainter spicaow them for two fairly bright stars that don't fit into familiar constellations. these are the northernmost stars of the huge ancient constellation centaurus. but you'd need to be in hawaii or the florida keys to see all of centaurus, including alpha and beta centauri, the most spectacular star pair in the sky. this pair is similar to castor and pollux, which are now setting in the west, but it's much brighter. in fact, alpha centauri is remarkable in many ways. it's the closest star to the sun, the third-brightest star in the night sky, and a magnificent double-star whose components orbit each other every 80 years. although few americans can see alpha and beta, anyone in the southern u.s. can see the great globular cluster omega centauri. find a dark location with a clear view to the south, and you should see it, hanging above the horizon, a ball of light the size of the full moon, though much fainter. it appears bigger and brighter through binoculars, and it's unbelievable through te
