Spring Star Chart
Notice that some stars are colored, actually most stars are colored, but the only ones that we can easily see the color of are the really bright ones. Some good spring examples to look for are: Spica (blue), Arcturus (orange), and Capella (yellow). Go outside and see if you can see the color.
