Look up after sunset during summer months to find Hercules! Scan between Vega and Arcturus, near the distinct pattern of Corona Borealis. Once you find its stars, use binoculars or a telescope to hunt down the globular clusters M13 and M92. If you enjoy your views of these globular clusters, you\u2019re in luck \u2013 look for another great globular, M3, in the nearby constellation of Bo\u00f6tes.
