This Month's Starchart
How To Use This Chart
This chart depicts the evening sky for the times indicated. The edge represents the horizon; the chart's center is the point overhead. Hold a printout of the chart out in front of you so the horizon marked with the direction you're facing is down. Then match the stars on the map with the real stars in the sky.
This chart shows the sky as seen from 40 degrees north latitude. When viewing from a lower latitude, stars in the southern sky will appear higher above the horizon while those in the northern sky will be lower. When viewing from a latitude higher than 40 degrees, the opposite will be true.
