This video tutorial explains how to observe a celestial isosceles triangle in the night sky, visible from 11:00 PM. The triangle is formed by the star Arcturus, the binary system Spica, and Jupiter, with Jupiter being the brightest point. The triangle's sides measure approximately 38 degrees, with one side being 30 degrees. As the month progresses, the triangle will narrow as Jupiter moves towards Spica. The triangle will be visible until September, and Jupiter will disappear in early November, not reappearing until 2030.
