WOULD YOU GO MOST ANYWHERE TO FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG?
SO WOULD HERCULES; BUT HE’S NOT TOO BRIGHT, SO THIS WEEK DURING THE NEW MOON IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO LOOK FOR HIM.
HIT THE DARKNESS AT 10:30 PM THIS WEEK LOOKING EAST.
THE BRIGHTEST STAR YOU CAN SEE A BIT TO THE LEFT IS VEGA.
UP AND TO THE RIGHT OF VEGA IS THE KEYSTONE ASTERISM.
THAT’S THE BODY OF HERCULES!
HE’S ON HIS SIDE RIGHT NOW.
HERCULES WAS SAID TO HAVE CAUSED THE DEATHS OF LEO THE LION, CANCER THE CRAB, AND HYDRA AND MANY-HEADED SNAKE.
TO FIND THESE, TURN TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST.
LEO HAS A BACKWARD QUESTION MARK FOR A HEAD, CANCER LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE-DOWN Y AND HYDRA STRETCHES LOWER ACROSS THE SKY.
ON MAY 14TH NEXT WEEK THE FIRST QUARTER MOON WILL BE HANGING WITH THE THREE VANQUISHED FOES, LIGHTING THEIR LITTLE CEMETERY IN THE SKY.
FROM ZERO TO HERO, YES INDEED!
KEEP LOOKING UP.
