| The Winter Circle |  |
 |
The Winter Circle is a marker that helped the ancients identify the time of the year. These constellations are only some the winter constellations. The Winter Circle contain some of the brightest stars we see. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky followed by Capella (6th brightest), Rigel (7th), Procyon (8th), Betelgeuse (12th), Aldebaran (13th), and Pollux (17th). This is truly a great time of the year to observe the night sky. |
