Today I'll tell you about a very tiny constellation located between Leo and Bootes. Yes, comparing to other constellations it's very tiny, because it has only three stars in it, and only one of them has name. To be more correct, it's more an asterism than an actual constellation. And the name of this constellation is Coma Berenices. All three of the stars are relatively dim, less than fourth magnitude.
As usually, there is a very interesting story behind this constellation about the Queen Berenice, wife of Ptolemy III of Egypt. I'm sure it might be very interesting for you to read this story.
You can spend much time in the Coma constellation using your astronomical binoculars and telescope, because there is much to see. You can find Coma Berenices in the east early in the morning.
You need to look below Leo, try to find three dim stars that look like one corner of a box. Use your observation binoculars to find the cluster and a telescope to wander around finding the galaxies that are there and in the Virgo cluster.
Good luck in your search and enjoy the night sky!!!

In 1957, when most people looked in the sky with their astronomical binoculars, trying to spot the Russian satellite Sputnik, others at the same time looked to the sky for buzzards.
Now, 50 years later, many eyes are still watching the skies above the Hinckley Reservation of Cleveland Metro Parks as the turkey vultures flew back to town. There were about 4,500 people who attended the 50th Annual Buzzard Sunday, March 18th, at Buzzard Roost. Many observers were armed with observation binoculars, but those who weren't, could pick up a free pair of cheap, but effective binoculars inside the tent, near Buzzard Roost.

It's all told in a legend, 150 years ago, after the very big hunt in this area, the buzzards cleaned everything after the hunters left the woods. So, according to the legend and the facts, the birds have been returning on the same day, March 15th, ever since.

Since these birds play an important role in forest and field cleaning, they are fully protected by state and federal laws.

Last night with the help of my astronomical binoculars I was looking at the night sky, at the moon, and all the stars I was able to distinguish. And suddenly something clicked in my head, I remembered that today is the exact day, when in 1965 was performed the first ever spacewalk. It was conducted by Alexei Leonov onboard the Soviet Voskhod spacecraft. This world known walk lasted only about 20 minutes, can you imagine that? On re-entering the spacecraft Alexei Leonov had some problems, because his space suit had slightly enlarged.
After all these thoughts I was proud, those first people were very brave men! I can't imagine doing all of that by myself. So, I think that we need to honor all the people who provided us with more information about space, sky, comets, stars, and much more. Thanks to many of them, and also to many of scientists who created and were working and are working now on developing a better sky equipment, observation binoculars, night vision binoculars, camera binoculars, and other.
Now we have this opportunity to observe the best piece of nature's art - sky. It's free and we need to be thankful and proud!
