Locating the Constellation Perseus

Perseus is not too hard to find. It rises in the northeast after sunset in fall and is up high in the sky all winter. Look below the W shape of Cassiopeia toward the horizon. A string of stars seems to dangle from the left edge of the W shape. This string of stars is Perseus.

Perseus can also be found not far from the star cluster of the Pleiades. In fact as the string of stars drops downward, it appears to point right to that tiny, well-known cluster.
