Starwatch: follow the moon to the Winter Hexagon – MSN UK
A fun asterism containing stars from six constellations will have you ranging across the sky
Starwatch chart
The moon will guide you to a fun asterism this week called the Winter Hexagon. Asterisms are patterns made by connecting stars, whereas constellations are the areas of the sky that contain the asterisms.
Not all asterisms belong to a single constellation, however. This weeks pattern joins seven stars from six different constellations. The chart shows the view from London, looking south at 22.00GMT on 25 January.
