This is the fourth video in our series examining the constellations of the night sky in depth. Last time, we used the Big Dipper to find Leo, the lion. This time we use it to find Bootes, the herdsman, and the bright star Arcturus. We also examine stellar parallax as a way for figuring out the distance to the stars.
