Abstract
In this article from New Scientist, the author discusses two constellations that are visible in the night sky during the month of February. The constellations, Perseus and Auriga, are named after figures from Greek mythology. Perseus is one of the largest constellations and is home to two star clusters known as the double cluster. To find Perseus, one can use the neighboring constellation of Cassiopeia as a guide. Auriga, on the other hand, is made up of six stars that form a stretched hexagonal shape and is located between Perseus and Gemini. The article also mentions that Perseus is home to a variable triple star system called Algol and that Auriga shares a star with Taurus called Elnath. [Extracted from the article]
