Twins and Bees. The "twins" of Gemini Castor and Pollux can help find the Beehive Cluster M44. Once you find the twins scan to the left to find the Beehive. You may need binoculars as the stars are often faint. Around 1000 stars are said to be in the Cluster. Some of the stars have orbiting planets.
