NIGHT SKY.--OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER.

The Dipper lies low, the Pointers a little east of north. They
direct to the Pole Star. The Guardians of the Pole (b and g of
the Little Bear, _Ursa Minor_) lie in a direction from the pole
star corresponding to that of the minute hand of a clock about 22
minutes before an hour. Between the Pointers and Pole Star lies
the tip of the Dragon's Tail. Sweeping around the Little Bear (_Ursa
Minor_) we find the stars of the Dragon (_Draco_) curving back by
the star d to the Dragon's Head, with the two bright eyes, g and
b. Above is the inconspicuous constellation Cepheus; and somewhat
higher, the stars of Cassiopeia, a and b, marking the top rail of
the Seated Lady's Chair.

Low down in the northwest Hercules is setting. Above is the Lyre,
with the bright steel-blue Vega; and above that the stars of the
Swan (_Cygnus_), which has sometimes been called the Northern Cross.

Nearly due west we find the Eagle (_Aquila_), z and e marking its
tail, th the head. Above the Eagle is the pretty little constellation
_Delphinus_, the Dolphin.

In the southwest, rather low, is the Sea Goat (_Capricornus_);
above and to the south of him the Water Bearer (_Aquarius_), with
his pitcher, marked by the stars, a, g, and z. The head of the
Winged Horse, _Pegasus_, now upside down (in fact, he is seldom
otherwise), is just above this group. The "Square of Pegasus" will
be noticed high up, due south. The star a of Andromeda, one of
the corners of this square, used to be
