The Spring Triangle is an astronomical asterism involving an imaginary triangle drawn upon the celestial sphere, with its defining vertices at Arcturus, Spica, and alternately Denebola or Regulus. This triangle connects the constellations of Boötes, Virgo, and Leo. It is visible in the northern hemisphere night sky between March and May.
It forms part of a larger Spring asterism called the Great Diamond.
Famous quotes containing the word spring:
“Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.... The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
