A vertical panorama of the northern spring sky, from Virgo and Corvus above the horizon up through Coma Berenices and Leo, and to Ursa Major and the Big Dipper at top at the zenith from this latitude (50 degrees North). The handle of the Dipper points down to Arcturus at left in Böotes, and then down to Spica, with bright Jupiter then just above Spica (in March 2017). The diffuse glow of Gegenschein is visible between Leo and Virgo, upper right of Jupiter and Spica. The image is designed for use to illustrate the Big Dipper pointing down to Arcturus and Regulus and the relative positions of the major spring constellations.
