Covering an area of 1,294 square degrees, Virgo is the second largest constellation in the sky. By comparison, the easily recognisable Orion, the hunter, is a celestial minnow at just 594 square degrees.

Stuart Clark is standing to be Labour’s candidate in Renfrewshire North and Cardonald in the 2026 Scottish election. Scotland needs a new direction. After nearly two decades of SNP misrule, Scotland’s public sector has been decimated and the provision of services is continually being eroded by poor governance. I work as a head teacher and have had years of experience in the sector, and I have seen first hand what the SNP’s failure means. Scottish education was once the envy of the world.
