In what part of the sky is the virgo constellation found in each season?
plz helpIn what part of the sky is the virgo constellation found in each season?The constellation Virgo is found in the Zodiac, that band of constellations along the ecliptic (roughly, near the celestial equator). Virgo is found by following the line formed by the handle of the big dipper (part of Ursa Major). Following the curve of the handle, the first bright star you come to is Arcturus, a large red star (and third brightest star in our sky). Continuing on the curve, you'll come to Spica, the blue-white principal star in Virgo.In what part of the sky is the virgo constellation found in each season?From the northern hemisphere, Virgo is generally seen as it swings from southeast to southwest as the night proceeds. In the winter and early spring, it is visible there in the pre-dawn hours. During late spring and early summer, it is well-placed for evening observers. By late summer, it is approaching the western horizon as the sun sets. In late fall and early winter, Virgo is difficult to see since it is lost in the glare of the sun.
