Boötes
BOÖTES (commonly spelled Bootes, without the diaeresis on the "o") the Herdsman is another medium-sized and bright constellation. Arcturus is the brightest star, with an apparent magnitude of -0.05. As far as the cosmic wonders, there are only a couple of faint galaxies and a globular cluster. There is a far-away galaxy cluster in the northeast part of the constellation's boundaries. The pretty noticeable-yet-small Corona Borealis is west of Boötes. Canes Venatici and Coma Berenices are east of the herdsman; unlike Boötes, these two constellations are abundant in galaxies. Now you know more about Boötes!
