TL;DR

Tonight after sunset (March 30), look northeast to spot the Big Dipper. Use its bowl-to-handle arc to guide your gaze to Arcturus, then follow up to Spica for another bright spring star—a quick, naked-eye sky-navigation trick ideal for learning the spring constellations; binoculars help reveal fainter stars if you want a closer look.
