Idk what started me but I was able to find out when I could see the Pleiades.

They just went past our building's rooftop. So I had to look straight up the wall to just past the roof top's edge to catch them. Wondrous!

Luckily I could do it from the ease of my fire escape, which because we faced from on top the back of a hill we overlooked 8 stories high over the buildings of 2 avenues below, and east of us. Had a 180° view of the sky!

.During the Winter Orion hung out in our night sky.
