Summary

DescriptionSpring Triangle (Stellarium).png	Deutsch: Das Frühlingsdreieck aus Arktur (Bootes), Spica (Jungfrau, im Mai 2017 mit Jupiter und, "zufällig", mit Mond) und Regulus (Löwe); die gestrichelten Linien deuten an, wie man von der Deichsel des Großen Wagens (oben) zu Arktur und Spica findet und wie vom Wagen aus zum Regulus. Eingezeichnet sind auch links oben die Nördliche Krone und rechts der unscheinbare Krebs sowie, zur Orientierung, die Sterne Prokyon, Pollux und Castor aus dem Wintersechseck. Namentlich gekennzeichnet sind alle Sterne ab einer scheinbaren Helligkeit von 2 mag. In Rot gestrichelt das gleichseitige Sommerdreieck mit Denebola statt Regulus sowie das gleichseitige Dreieck aus Arktur, Gemma und Seginus. English: The Spring Triangle between Arcturus (Bootes), Spica (Virgo, in May 2017 with Jupiter and, "incidentallly", the Moon) and Regulus (Leo); the dashed lines show how to find Arcturus and Spica from the handle of the Big Dipper (Part of Ursa Major, above) and how to find Regulus from the dipper. On top of the left side Corona Borealis, at the right the unimpressive Cancer and, for a better orientation, the stars Procyon, Pollux and Castor from the Winter Hexagon. All stars of an apparent magnitude of at least 2 mag are labelled. The dahed red lines show the equilateral spring triangle with Denebola instead of Regulus and a second equilateral triangle with Arcturus, Gemma and Seginus.
