Hey star followers -- star gazing is a fantastic summer activity, but there are so many stars -- sometimes it helps to have a mnemonic -- a memory trick to find things to gaze at -- astronomers use: Follow the Arc-to-Arcturus and Speed-on-to-Spica -- let s give it a try.

Hit the darkness at 10pm find the Big Dipper asterism in the Northwestern sky.

Draw an imaginary arc through the handle of the Dipper and you ll find the bright orange Star Arcturus :: Follow the Arc to Arcturus.

Then just keep going, and straighten out the arc and you'll find the bright blue star Spica!

Red Giant Arcturus is the closest giant star to Earth and fourth brightest in the sky, and Spica, in Virgo, is a bright binary star featured on the Brazilian flag!

Thanks to this mnemonic you can find two more stars!
