Asterisms: Little Joe (from Kokomo)


little joe (from kokomo) aka 'chiclet'

this colorful ‘four the hard way’ naked eye asterism lies southeast of the pisces circlet just a few degrees from the zero radec nexus/vernal equinox (27, 29, 30, and 33 psc; psa 07). the ecliptic also runs directly between little joe and the circlet. the quartet makes an equally convincing piece of ‘chiclet’ gum.
