Star Watch: Corona borealis

The constellation Corona borealis lies just below Bootes and Arcturus in our September evening sky. (Sketch by the author)

High in the September evening skies about halfway between the bright stars Arcturus and Vega lies a group of seven stars that make up the constellation Corona borealis, the “Northern Crown.”
Wikipedia.org reports that several Native American cultures saw different patterns in this star arrangement including a circle of elders, an eagle’s nest, a bear’s den, or a smokehole over a fireplace.
