The head, mane, and heart of the lion (Regulus) start to rise in the eastern sky at sunset around the middle of February.
From then on, his front half climbs higher in the sky and the rest of the body comes into view as the days go on, since every star reaches the same position in the sky about 4 minutes earlier each night, or about 1 hour earlier every 2 weeks.

∙ 6y agoThe little dipper (Ursa Minor) consetllation along with a few other constellations are always visible all year round in the northern hemisphere, it's just a matter of wheather and air pollution that may make it difficult to find in the night sky. To find it, you can either use a compass to find the north star, the end handle of the little dipper, or you can always use the edge of the pan part of the big dipper as a guide star.

If the Little Dipper is what you want to see, then Denver is a good place to be. You only have to
know how to find it and recognize it. All of the stars in the Little Dipper are close enough to the
north celestial pole so that they're always above the horizon, never setting from Denver's sky.
