While Arcturus shines as the brightest star high in the east these evenings. Spica shines lower right of it — by about three fists at arm's length. To the right of Spica by half that distance, look for the distinctive four-star constellation of Corvus, the springtime Crow.

Bright Arcturus is climbing high in the east these evenings. Equally bright Capella is descending high in the northwest. They stand at exactly the same height above your horizon some time right around the end of twilight, depending on your latitude.
