Libra (the Balance), the seventh constellation of the zodiac, is located between Virgo and Scorpius and is best seen in the
Northern Hemisphere in spring. The Sun passes southeastward through Libra from about October 24 to November 22, during its sojourn south of the celestial equator. Among Libra's
stars are three binaries: the two stars of Alpha Librae are just barely resolvable to the naked eye; Beta Librae, with the unusual color of green, is a spectroscopic
binary; and Delta Librae is an eclipsing binary.
