The Starry Skies of April
(Hover over the stars to see the constellations, click to find out more)

The guardian of Spring skies is the mighty Leo, looking like a Trafalgar Square Lion and gazing West. Beyond his nose is a faint bow tie shape which marks Cancer the Crab. Below this crustacean is Hydra the water snake, the longest constellation in the sky. High in the south you can find two hunting dogs (Canes Venatici) and a heavenly wig (Coma Berenices). Low down in the SE look for Virgo, Corvus and Crater.
