Capella is easily seen from most any northern location.  Learn how it is both similar - and different - from our own Sun.  Spectral classes of stars help us understand the chemical composition, size and luminosity of stars.  Find out how to easily remember OBAFGKM stars, and where you can see most of these types in Auriga, the constellation in which Capella resides.  But that isn't the only thing to see there; several Messier open clusters can be found, along with a binocular visible "Smiley Face."   See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.
