Autumn is probably the best time of the year for skygazing.
The Milky Way crosses the sky like a great arch, passing almost overhead. As it flows down towards the western horizon, the starry stream splits, due to huge clouds of cold gas and dust blocking out the light of the stars lying behind. Just to the left are the stars of Perseus. A little further in the same direction lies the bright, yellow star Capella, the brightest star in Auriga, The Charioteer. Close by and a bit lower in the sky is Aldebaran, the red eye of Taurus, The Bull.
