So I was taking out the trash...but then I looked up! The winter sky really is fantastic. I easily identified my personal "Big Four" of the sky: Orion, Gemini, Taurus, and Auriga. Those four always seem to stand out to me, being right there in the center of the sky. Canis Major was there too of course, but I never really seem to notice it as much...even though it has the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, in it. Some of the other stars I identified were Rigel, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Alnilam, Alnitak, Mintaka, Castor, Pollux, Aldebaran, Capella, and "The Kids". I also picked out the Pleiades star cluster, and easy spot.
