What is your favorite constellation?
what is your favorite constellation and the story behind it? why is it your favorite?
thank you :)What is your favorite constellation?I like Orion, for his awesome belt with that cool nebula, I like scorpio for its visibility, and Gemini, cause Im one =PWhat is your favorite constellation?
Orion. The kids can relate easiest to him. His story includes jealousy, love, trickery, and a hunting accident (his). His outline in the sky is easy to describe. I talk about belt stars, the sword dangling below it. His shoulders are plain to imagine. But the clincher is Betelgeuse, "the Armpit of the Holy One." You can imagine what a bunch of grade-schoolers think about that one. Orion is just a fun constellation to talk about to any grade. And it is a logical one to start off the journey around the sky.What is your favorite constellation?Well of course my astrological sign "Leo" is my favorite constellation.In Greek mythology, it was identified as the Nemean Lion (and may have been a source of the tale) which was killed by Hercules during one of his twelve labours, and subsequently put into the sky. Hercules' first labor was to kill the Nemean lion, a fierce beast who descended to Earth from the Moon in the form of a meteor and ravaged the countryside of Corinth. The lion had hide so tough that neither spear nor arrow nor any other weapon could pierce it. So well known was the beast that Hercules had no trouble finding its lair, a cave with two entrances. As Hercules approached, the lion showed itself and Hercules sped an arrow toward its heart. The arrow merely bounced off and fell to the ground. Hercules now knew that arrows or spears were useless against the beast. He then sealed off one of the entrances to the cave and pursued the lion inside through the other entrance. So great was his strength that Hercules seized the lion and strangled it to death by ramming his fist down its throat. He then flung it over his shoulder and returned to show King Eurystheus that he had fulfilled his first labor. The cowardly king was terrified at the sight of the beast and fled. Hercules then skinned the lion and used its tough hide as a protective shield.But the story was not ended there,Around 240 B.C., Leo was robbed of his splendid tail. The astronomer-priest under Ptolemy III chopped of the tail of Leo when they invented the new constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair).
Not only me who favored the Leo but also the Egyptians worshipped lion-gods which is evidence of the importance this beast held in Egyptian life. The Egyptians believed that the world was created at a time when the Sun rose in Leo near the star Denebola.
My fav is Cygnus, The Swan. The stories behind the constellation are varied. One story tells us that Cygnus represents Orpheus who was changed into a swan at his death and placed beside his magic harp (Lyra) in the sky. Another story says this represents Cygnus, son of the King of the Ligurians who was stricken with grief over the death of his friend Phaethon. Touched by this, Apollo took pity on him, changed him into a swan and placed him among the stars.
Alpha Cygni, Deneb is a blue-white supergiant class A2 star. It is about 1600 light years distant. If Deneb was as close to us as the nearest star, Proxima Centauri (4.4 light years) Deneb would be as bright as the full moon in our sky! Deneb is more than 70,000 times brighter than the Sun and is estimated to be 25 times more massive. Deneb is high in the northern sky in early August
The star I find most appealing, however, is Beta Cygni, Albireo. It is a yellow class K3 star about 410 light years distant. It surely must be one of the most beautiful double stars in the sky. The companion is a blue class B8 star. Viewed through my telescope, I see them as bright yellow and emerald green. Startlingly, magnificent!

CharlesWhat is your favorite constellation?Ursa Major - well actually the asterism that is part of Ursa Major - the Big Dipper (or Plough, pronounced Plow - because I am British).
Why? - because I can always see it at night, which is very comforting (I have always lived north of 30deg N, so it has always been circumpolar, which means it does not rise or set, it just goes around and around in the sky)
And because it helps us to find the Pole Star - which can be remarkable useful.
And because I got into astronomy before I went to school (~age 3 or 4) and it is probably the first constellation you learn.What is your favorite constellation?
In the winter, Orion. Mainly because it was the first constellation (besides the Big Dipper asterism in Ursa Major) that I recognized on my own in the night sky.
Plus, even in downtown Toronto I can see it at night.
In the summer, it would have to be Virgo, mainly because it has so many galaxies in it.
Ursa major.
The seven are the exalted sages (seers) of Hindu mythology. Alcor %26amp; Mizar(Zeta Ursa majoris) are a couple Arundhati (Alcor) and her husband Vasistha (Mizar) one of the seven. The star-pair is shown to every marrying couple as an ideal to emulate. But where are the others' wives? Aren't they by the side of their husbands?
There is a story of how Shiva's son was born to slay demon king Taaraka who captured the kingdom of heaven and drove away the gods who were unable to defeat him.
As per the Hindu myth, God Shiva after his wife's tragic death renounces the world and retires to a snowy mountain (Mount Kailas in Tibet) for penance. Creator Brahma (one of the trinity along with Shiva), tells them that only son of Shiva will be able to defeat Taaraka and that Shiva should marry Parvati ('daughter of mountain king'). He was not interested in marrying again. She is longing for Shiva to marry him and remains where he is doing his penance, serving him. Gods, impatient with slow pace of this romance bring in two gods 'Manmatha' (mind churner;or 'Cupid' of flowery arrows)and Vasanta (season of Spring). They work their magic and Shiva loses his mental concentration and opens his eyes and sees beautiful Parvati and falls in love. Then he realises that he was distracted by Cupid. In his anger he opens his third eye on the forehead and gazes at Manmatha who is burnt to ashes. His wife Rathi ('act of lovemaking') wails and begs Shiva to restore her husband. Shiva couldn't, however he recreates as a 'thought-being' that can show up in her imagination. Love and love-making are more of thought-processes! Later Shiva marries Parvati. But gods were impatient. They want the couple to produce their saviour. But their love was too eleborate. One day they send one of them, 'Agni' (Beta Tauri) the fire to spy on the couple. He turns into a pigeon and takes a perch on a high window to peep down from. What he saw was Shiva on top of parvati on nuptial bed. Parvati who was looking up (being below him) quickly moves away embarassed. Shiva looks at the pigeon and brings it down and back to the shape of Agni and puts a simple question 'Now that the act of love is culminating, this semen was about to reach her womb but you disturbed it. Now the semen may spurt out any moment. it should not go waste; what do I do now?' Agni was shivering for his guilt and Shiva's anger. Shiva opened Agni's mouth and poured his semen in it. Agni couldn't bear that burning mass and ran all over heaven and sky begging some chaste women to accept his mouth's contents. Six of the seven wives of the exalted sages took pity and as a common good that will bring good times, they bore it. These six are the 'Pleiades' ('Krittika', the bunch). Only sage Vasistha's wife Arundhati ('Alcor' in Ursa major) who remains by her husband's side always was not in the group. The other six accept it into their wombs and in due course produce six faces and parts of body that after deliveries merge into one with six faces. He is known as 'Shan mukha' (six faced) whom the Tamils worship a lot. Being born to 'Krittika' (3rd of the 27 asterisms of Zodiac) he is also called 'Kartikeya'. They built a big temple to him in the caves of Malaysia.What is your favorite constellation?
I don't have just one. Orion was the first one I was able to recognize, and when I got my first telescope, the first non-planet I looked at through it was M42, so from a nostalgic standpoint, I like Orion.
A few summers back, I got on this "Globular Cluster Hunting Kick" and became fairly familiar with part of the sky I had ignored for quite sometime. This got me to appreciate constellations such as Ophiuchus, Hercules,
Canes Venatici.
Last summer, while trying to document visual magnitudes of variable stars (not an easy task form the suburbs), I enjoyed learning more about Perseus and Cetus. Perseus was even more exciting when I said to myself, "that smudge wasn't there last week," and, as I later realized, I was witnessing Comet Holmes, an object that very unexpectedly burst into naked eye visibility.
I suppose, if I ever get a chance to explore the southern constellations, this list will grow even more.
Crux, or the Southern Cross, was the first I was taught to recognise (pretty standard for all Australian kids!) and is still my favourite. But as a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of constellations - they're very subjective, after all! I tend to like individual stars - I really like Alpha Centauri!
my favorite constellation is the ursa minor because even if this are not very popular ...this constellation show simplicity for me so like me im simple

What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?
Cassiopeia, Goddess of Beauty. One of my favorites.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?That would depend on what you consider "up" on Ursa Major as well as the time of night. The two outer stars on the dipper point to Polaris, the celestial North Pole, so Ursa Major revolves around the spot through the night.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?Hi. Ursa Minor is so far north that the only real "direction" is south. Like standing on the north pole, everywhere you look is south. The term used to describe the rotational coordinates is RA, or Right Ascension. And I agree that Cassiopeia is beautiful. First constellation my Mother taught me.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?Draco and Cepheus both border Ursa Minor on the east, but Draco wraps most of the way around Ursa Minor so that it also borders it on the south and west too.north carolina dmv book clubs

In Final Fantasy XII all of the espers correspond to zodiac constellations, and Ophiuchus is the strongest one!If you could be a constellation,which would it be?Okay Final Fantasy is a game if I remember right...
And I'd be Ursa Major because you see it from anywhere in the north because its circumpolar.
Its so bright that I would never fade away...x

Need it for science :PWhat are the main stars of Andromeda(constellation)?Andromeda, in astronomy, northern constellation located to the NE of Pegasus and to the S of Cassiopeia. Its brightest star, Alpheratz (Alpha Andromedae), marks the northeast corner of the Great Square in Pegasus. The constellation also contains the bright stars Mirach (Beta Andromedae) and Almach (Gamma Andromedae) and the famous Great Nebula, or Andromeda Galaxy, the only galaxy visible to the naked eye in the Northern Hemisphere.

The star Shaula, my namesake, in the constellation Scorpius, what interesting facts can you tell me about it?
Shaula (Lambda Scorpii)
The second brightest star in the constellation Scorpius; its Arabic name means "the stinger." Along with Lesath and several other stars in southern Scorpius, it belongs to the huge, relatively nearby Scorpius OB1 Association.
Shaula is a subgiant B star with a temperature around 25,000 K and a total luminosity that is about 35,000 that of the Sun. It is, however, a close double made of roughly similar hot stars with an orbital period of 5.9 days. There may also be a third, more distant companion, possibly a white dwarf given that Shaula is an unusually strong source of low-energy X-rays.
Shaula has either stopped hydrogen fusion in its core or is close to doing so. With a mass of around 11 solar masses, it may eventually explode or more likely turn into a heavy white dwarf, possibly one with a neon-oxygen core. Like Mirzam, it is a Beta Cephei star, fluctuating by less than a tenth of a magnitude with two simultaneous periods of 0.21 and 0.11 days.
http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedi…
Lambda Scorpii (λ Sco / λ Scorpii) is the second brightest star system in the constellation Scorpius, and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. It has the Bayer designation λ despite being the second brightest in its constellation. It has the traditional name Shaula, which comes from the Arabic الشولاء al-šawlā´ meaning the raised [tail], as it is found in the tail of the scorpion (Scorpius). It is known as 尾宿八 (the Eighth Star of the Tail) in Chinese.
Lambda Scorpii is a multiple star with three visible components. The first, Lambda Scorpii A, is classified as a B-type subgiant. The 15th magnitude Lambda Scorpii B has a separation of 42 arcseconds from component A, while the 12th magnitude Lambda Scorpii C is 95 arcseconds from A. It is not known whether or not these components are physically associated with component A. If they both were, B would be approximately 7500 Astronomical Units and C approximately 17,000 AU (0.27 light years) from A.
Spectroscopic and interferometric observations have shown that A is actually a triple system consisting of two B-type stars and a pre-main sequence star. The primary star is also a beta Cephei variable star.[3] [4] The pre-main sequence star has an orbital period of 6 days and the B companion has a period of 1053 days. The three stars lie in the same orbital plane, strongly suggesting that they were formed at the same time. The masses of the primary, pre-main sequence star and the B companion are 10.4±1.3, 1.8±0.2 and 8.1±1.0 solar masses, respectively. The age of the system is estimated to be in the range 10–13 million years.
The interferometric and spectroscopic observations allow the distance to the system to be determined independently of other methods. Its distance is 112±5 parsecs.

Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?
in late august or september?Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?The constellation were named way back in Pagan antiquity
Jesus was born around Sept/Oct
THE Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December.
Consider the weather conditions at that time of the year in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The Jewish month of Chislev (corresponding to November/December) was a month with cold and rainy weather. The month after that was Tebeth (December/January). It saw the lowest temperatures of the year, with occasional snows in the highlands. Let us see what the Bible tells us about the climate of that region.
The Bible writer Ezra shows that Chislev was indeed a month known for cold and rainy weather. After stating that a crowd had gathered in Jerusalem “in the ninth month [Chislev] on the twentieth day of the month,” Ezra reports that people were “shivering .?.?. on account of the showers of rain.” Concerning weather conditions at that time of the year, the congregated people themselves said: “It is the season of showers of rain, and it is not possible to stand outside.” (Ezra 10:9,?13; Jeremiah 36:22) No wonder shepherds living in that part of the world made sure that they and their flocks were no longer out of doors at night when December came around!
The Bible reports, however, that shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks on the night of Jesus’ birth. In fact, the Bible writer Luke shows that at that time, shepherds were “living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks” near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-12) Notice that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night. Does that description of outdoor living fit the chilly and rainy weather conditions of Bethlehem in December? No, it does not. So the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth indicate that he was not born in December.
God’s Word tells us precisely when Jesus died, but it gives little direct indication as to when he was born. This brings to mind King Solomon’s words: “A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” (Ecclesiastes 7:1) It is not surprising, then, that the Bible provides many details about Jesus’ ministry and death but few details about the time of his birth.

Uh, no. You're confusing two completely different mythologies. The Zodiac signs go back to Hellenistic times.
Christianity did, however, borrow from the same mythological archetypes.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?The constellation was there before Christianity was founded, so no. However they did take the constellations and make them into a story, the SAME repeating story that many other early religions came up with.

Christianity is no different.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?
There is no consensus on who Virgo was exactly or who the constellation was named after.
It has been associated with nearly every prominent goddess, including Ishtar, Isis, Cybele, and Athena, as well as with Mary the Mother of Jesus.
Virgo also was, along with Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, part of the source of the myth of Callisto, either as Callisto herself, or as Hera.
Persephone (who in some mythologies was considered to be a form of Demeter) is often mentioned as well, Virgo being visible mainly in the spring months when she was believed to have risen from the underworld.
But most people relate Virgo to Astraea, the virgin daughter of the Greek god Zeus and goddess Themis.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?No - Virgo was named for Persephone in Greek mythology. She is more properly a "maiden of the harvest" than "a virgin".Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?
No, it wasn't, I leave you to do some reading on your own rather than taking my word for it.

Can i see the constellation pisces from Hyderbad - India??
Yes, but not at present, because the Sun is currently located in Pisces. Pisces will become visible in the morning sky in another month or two. Pisces is not a very prominent constellation at the best of times, as it has no bright stars located in it.
Why does the Sphinx resembles the zodiac constellations of Virgo and Leo?
The head of the Sphinx looks like Virgo and its tail looks like the Leo constellation, so if you place the two constellations together, it resembles the Sphinx.Why does the Sphinx resembles the zodiac constellations of Virgo and Leo?This is more a question about ancient Egyptian religion than astronomy and space. Research what these symbols meant to the Egyptians. From memory the head of the Sphinx is a representation of one of the Pharaohs but it is not an area I am expert in.Why does the Sphinx resembles the zodiac constellations of Virgo and Leo?If you look just hard enough at something, you can always find weak similarities between objects.
In your case... resemble is like saying, Paris Hilton resembles Jack Black.

What is a constellation? What or where is the ones mentioned in the bible?
Job 38:31 Kimah, Kesil, Mazzaroth, ash
why are they mentioned and where did this come from?
Couldn' t be from pagan sources or why would it be in the bible. What does it mean?What is a constellation? What or where is the ones mentioned in the bible?1) What is a constellation?
A constellation is a group of stars which, when viewed from earth, are believed to form a sort of picture or outline.
2) What or where is the ones mentioned in the bible?
Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8
3) why are they mentioned and where did this come from?
You have to read the context of each passage to determine why, in each case, constellations are mentioned.
Where it "came" from is debatable. Around the Mediterranean, most cultures grouped stars into constellations in a fairly uniform manner. In other words, they all divided the stars into the same groups. However, different Mediterranean cultures at different times associated different *symbols* with one or another constellation. Of course, the constellations determined by cultures a great distance away (such as China or North America) were frequently quite different from those determined by the Mediterranean cultures.
4) Couldn' t be from pagan sources or why would it be in the bible.
Of course they can be from pagan sources. Note, for example, how in the old testament pagan gods are mentioned, *by name*, repeatedly. Hebrew culture did not exist in a vacuum. It was based on older cultures - Abraham, for example, was from Mesopotamia, and much of Hebrew culture probably originated from that region. Then, consider that for 400 years the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt. Without a doubt Egyptian paganism had a tremendous influence on Hebrew culture and language. Thus, it should be no surprise that the constellations, and the names for them, were adopted from other cultures by the Hebrews. It is no different than, for example, our adoption of words such as "taco" or "rendezvous" from foreign cultures, and other cultures' adoption of English words like "computer" and "kleenex".
This in no way "cheapens" the **religion** of the Old Testament Jews. What the ancient Hebrews had that other cultures did not was the word of God. This is *their* primary contribution to world culture. Borrowing names or star groupings from other cultures, even though they were not Jewish, does not mean that the Jews worshiped any of these things in the way that the foreign cultures did.
5) What does it mean?
Generally, only what the bible indicates that it means.

Which constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?
A Orion
B Lyra
C Cygnus
D Cassiopeia
Which constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?All of these constellations can be seen during winter from where I live, in the New York area.
Cassiopeia is circumpolar. It can be seen any night of the year from 41 degrees North latitude.
Orion is the quintessential winter constellation for northern observers, high in the winter evening skies.
Lyra and Cygnus are usually thought of as summer constellations, but they set in early evening during the winter. I can see Lyra low in the northwest on January evenings, and Cygnus sets just after dark in February. Also, they're early morning constellations during February and March.Which constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?
This would depend on where you are located -- north or south of the equator
assume your south of the equator - you would not be able to see Cygnus during the winterWhich constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?

Also, they're early morning constellations during February and March.Which constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?
This would depend on where you are located -- north or south of the equator
assume your south of the equator - you would not be able to see Cygnus during the winterWhich constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?
In the Northern skies, depending upon when u are looking ( morn or eve ) in the eve it would be Lyra and Cygnus. These 2 would be morning constellaions during the winter months.Which constellation cannot be seen in the winter sky?

How many stars does the constellation serpens have?
Lots.How many stars does the constellation serpens have?This figure will depend upon the telescope size and its collecting power for light.
Even by naked eye,it all depend upon the light pollution, eye sight of observer,atmospheric conditions ectHow many stars does the constellation serpens have?This is an impossible question to answer, because you haven't specified how bright the stars should be. If you said 1st magnitude, the answer would be zero. If you said 18th magnitude, thenumber would be millions.nada bluebook map of united states with cities

What is the most know constellation?
My guess would be that Orion is the most well known constellation. Many people know the Big Dipper, but that's an asterism, part of Ursa Major, which people don't really know. And, Orion is visible from the Southern Hemisphere as well as the North.
What is the most know constellation?Probably Orion. It is near the celestial equator so at least part of it can be seen over the whole planet. It is also dominant in the sky, containing several bright stars. And the three-star "belt" is very easy to recognize.
You hear more about the constellations of the Zodiac, but most people only know these from astrological references and wouldn't be able to point to any of them in the sky. Gemini, Scorpius, and Sagittarius are easy to spot, though.
I did not include the Big Dipper (Ursa Major), because it is so far north. People do know the dipper but many are unfamiliar with the fact that it is part of the constellation Ursa Major. Much of the southern hemisphere can't see it. But then a very small portion of the world's population is in that zone, so....What is the most know constellation?I would have to say Orion. It's a bright collection of recognizable stars, and, being located at the celestial equator, can be visible from any point on earth.
If you limit it to just the Northern Hemisphere, Ursa Major might be pretty well known, but most people only know the "Big Dipper" (or "Plough" for those British chaps) asterism and not the actual complete constellation.What is the most know constellation?Not sure what you mean by "most know constellation".
Do you mean most known or most well-known? Since there are 88 constellations it could be any, but most people in the northern hemisphere can find Ursa Major (where the Big Dipper is located) or Ursa Minor (where the North Star Polaris is located).
In the winter, most northern observers can also find Orion.What is the most know constellation?
Orion or Ursa Major or Minor

Can you sugge mars in leo 1 degree and saturn in capricon 30 degree. Ascendent scorpio[anuradha constellation]?
It appears from your incomplete question that you wanted some prediction and remedies against some assumed problems on the basis of position of stars and planets. I would suggest that you need be worried about anything good or bad happening in your life on such basis. Great minds did not accept such faith. Our Indian sages rejected it stating that it is not useful to human or social life.The Vedas and the Upanishads condemned it stating that it takes a person to the darkest regions of ignorance. Srimad Bhagbat Gita teaches us to have faith on one鈥檚 own self and on God alone. Religious texts irrespective of faith, creed or class do not deal or deliberate on stars and planets or the methods of calculation of human destiny from those inanimate objects in the sky. Great religious teachers, sadhus and saints such as Sankaracharyya, Madhabacharyya, Ramanuja, Mahavira, Gautam Buddha, Chaitanya Dev, Guru Nanak, Sri Ramakrishna, Guru Ramanand, Sant Kabir, Tailanga Swami and also great Tantric sadhaks like Bama Khsyapa, Kamalakanta and others did never preach or advice people on the basis of such faith. The geo-centric theory on which astrological horoscopes are drawn has long been proved wrong. But astrology till date is following the said method for drawing the birth chart. It is said that horoscopes are prepared with the help of astronomy. Yes. But its relation with astronomy or any other branch of science stops there. The various theories on the basis of which predictions are made have nor relation or basis on astronomy or any other branch of science. The theories of prediction, powers of stars, planets, zodiac signs, their mutual relation of friendship and enmity etc. etc/ have no logical or scientific basis. The subject stands on misconception, misinformation, imagination and faith bordering on superstition.
What are the names of these constellations?
There is a an old myth of there being two constellations that were supposedly lovers that were separated by the gods or something. I looked it and supposedly it's the Chinese constellations Vega and Altair but... I could have sworn it was Greek or Roman mythology. Is there a similar constellation that has a similar story? Like once a year they are out on the sky the same night because of some reason?What are the names of these constellations?Vega and Altair are not constellations, they are both stars, located in the constellations of Lyra and Aquila, respectively.
The Chinese legend you mention is well known. The Milky Way figures in the legend as a river separating the lovers, but a bridge connects them once a year.
In the Greco-Roman sky we have a limited number of female figures: Virgo, Cassiopeia, and Andromeda being just about it (Ursa Major and Minor are both female, but not human). Cassiopeia's husband, Cepheus, is in the sky, but there is no legend separating them. Andromeda was rescued by Perseus, but again, no legend of separation.
Some of the constellations have grammatical feminine gender, but these are mostly modern (such as Mensa--table, Tucana--toucan, etc)

Is there a Astronomy/Constellation Channel?
I would love to see the stars on my TV 24 hours a day!!! Is there a channel that give you this?Is there a Astronomy/Constellation Channel?look for the science channel, thats how its called. they dont have things on stars 24 hrs a day but they do have it daily for about 3-4 hours. but even better, get yourself a telescope and look outside.Is there a Astronomy/Constellation Channel?I recommend the idea of getting a telescope it's wonderful to have one
But sorry I don't know the TV channels where you live
You can get information %26amp; videos about stars and constellations (every thing you need in Cosmology or a Astronomy) on the internet.

Biggest constellation in the night sky?
what is the biggest constellation in the night sky. I want know to know the name of it. I need it by todayBiggest constellation in the night sky?Using currently accepted boundaries, Hydra is the largest. In ancient times, the modern constellations of Carina, Vela, and Puppis combined to form Argo, which was the largest.Biggest constellation in the night sky?
Draco or HydraBiggest constellation in the night sky?My guess would be Orion.Biggest constellation in the night sky?
Hydra.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_con鈥?/a>
for the areas (in square degrees) of all constellations.
Here's another link that shows the areas of constellations along with other interesting information:
http://www.ianridpath.com/constellations鈥?/a>
-- edit
The sky contains
360^2/pi = 41252.96 square degrees.
Since there are 88 constellations, the average area per constellation is 468.8 square degrees. The area of Hydra is 1302.8 square degrees, so it is about 2.8 times larger than average.
Other answers here mention Orion and Crux (the southern cross). These are both prominent constellations, but Orion is ranked number 26 in area, and Crux is number 88 (the smallest).
Hydra (the female water snake) is not a particularly prominent constellation, but it stretches (snake-like!) across a large swath of the sky.
-- edit
These areas are based on the official constellation boundaries that were set by the International Astronomical Union in 1922, and published in 1930. Most people who are familiar with the sky think in terms of the prominent star patterns rather than the official boundaries. For instance, almost everyone knows the Big Dipper; but this is part of the constellation Ursa Major, and the constellation boundaries extend far beyond the familiar Big Dipper. (Ursa Major is the third biggest constellation.)

You added to your question, wanting to know interesting facts about star gazing, stars, etc. This is a big subject! I recommend the following:
1) If you have a specific question, post it on Yahoo Answers.
2) If you just want to learn about astronomy in general, there are numerous books and web sites available.
One good book (among many) on viewing the sky is
NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe
by Terence Dickinson
There are too many web sites to discuss here. You might type the following into your favorite search engine
introduction astronomy
and find a site that appeals to you.
If you really want to learn about astronomy, there are lots of textbooks, written for a variety of ages and backgrounds.
Another good way to learn about the night sky is to visit your local planetarium. I don't know where you live, but there are many planetariums around the U.S. and the world. Planetariums and science museums usually sell books on science, so you might look there to select a good book on astronomy.
If you're looking for an interesting fact right now (for a school report), here's one: Astronomers determine the temperature of a star from its color. When you look at an electric range, you see that the heating elements glow red when they become very hot. In fact, their temperature is similar to the temperature of red stars. Even hotter stars are yellowish in color, and really hot stars are bluish-white. The star Antares has a reddish color, the sun is yellow, and Sirius is blue-white. This is because Antares is cooler than the sun, and Sirius is hotter than the sun. (These colors show the temperatures of the stars' atmospheres. The centers of stars are much hotter.) Next time you look at the sky, see if you can see differences in colors between the bright stars. (The planets also have colors, but they don't indicate temperature; they just reflect the color of the surface or the atmosphere.)Biggest constellation in the night sky?Well, from where my boat is, I can see both Orion AND the top 2/3 of the Southern Cross and it certainly looks to me like the Southern Cross is bigger than Orion.traffic school sprinter

How do constellations increase in size?
I'm currently on the eastern seaboard of the US, and not too long ago noticed the Orion constellation. He was much larger than usual. My question is: how is that possible? What causes constellations to increase in size?
Thanks.How do constellations increase in size?This is an interesting perception that is caused by the way our eyes have evolved. The most common occurrence is that people see the Moon close to the horizon and see that it appears much larger than it does when it is higher in the sky. I suspect that the same holds true for constellations that are low - near the horizon.
Our visual system is geared to see things on a horizontal plane with the proper depth perception. It is called the Ponzo Illusion, and it is manifested by the perception that objects near the the horizon are more distant than objects directly below or above us. That is how we evolved, and that is how our eyes see things. If you ask people to point to an area in the sky that is 45 degrees above the horizon, 90% of them will point to a location much lower than 45 degrees. Here is a weird experiment that really works: the next time you see something - like the Moon or Orion that looks over sized, turn your back to it, bend over, and look at it again between your legs. It will look normal again. Of course, you may get arrested or something, but it really does work. It's how we see things.How do constellations increase in size?
Constellations does not increase by size, although Orion is pretty big.
It's likely that you see it close to the horizon, so you began comparing the constellation with the trees/building around, making it look bigger than usual. It's similar to the moon illusion, it looks bigger when it is closer to the horizon.
During the winter months, zodiacal constellation tend to look bigger than usual because they rise and set close to the horizon, so that the viewer compare the constellation with the objects close to the horizon.How do constellations increase in size?It's an optical illusion. Measure distances between stars using your hand on your outstretched arm (pinky to thumb from Rigel to Betelgeuse, for example), and you will find that they do not change in angular size. Look up "moon illusion" for more explanations of illusions of size in the sky. Also, you may notice in a small planetarium that the constellations look very small because your brain perceives them as close, but use your outstretched hand again, and they should still be the same size as the night sky (from the center of the planetarium).
As several people have correctly said, constellations don't change in size within the lifetime of an individual human. I don't know why someone is marking these answers "thumbs down." The answers comparing this to the Moon illusion are probably correct.How do constellations increase in size?Constellations are constantly moving, but it is so small of movements that our eyes cannot see them. So it was not that.
I assume that it might have been a trick on your brain caused by pollution or heat. I've notice the same thing happen to the moon before.How do constellations increase in size?
stars have motion.
50,000 years ago, the Big Dipper looked very little like a dipper.
but Orion was Orion.
the primary stars in Orion are so very far away that it will probably keep looking the same for eons.
Sun and Moon looks bigger when they are near horizon.It is an optical illusions due to our mind.Same with constellations. Nothing more. Over million years, patterns of constellations may change.How do constellations increase in size?
They don't.

Would Astrology change if the stars that formed the constellation went boom?
Curious explosion here.
[Misses all the old regulars.]Would Astrology change if the stars that formed the constellation went boom?The stars and planets are like hands on the face of a clock. The clockwork inside the clock is what makes the clock work. The hands on the clock (planets) or the symbols marking the hours on the clock face (stars of the sign) might get damaged or even fall off, but the clock keeps working.
It is not that planets and stars have any control over my destiny. Rather, I am the only one in charge of my destiny. The universe observes my decisions over countless lifetimes and holds me responsible for them. Therefore she moves her "clockwork" in ways that bring me the just rewards and punishments of my freewill. The planets and stars are merely natures clockface, her way of helping a human being understand what this destiny is.

If Jesus was so important, why is the Southern Cross constellation so far from the Zodiac constellations?
The constellation existed way before any of the churches. It's shape has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. Oh brother!If Jesus was so important, why is the Southern Cross constellation so far from the Zodiac constellations?I have always found it interesting that Christians seem to worship an instrument of torture.If Jesus was so important, why is the Southern Cross constellation so far from the Zodiac constellations?You know, we (Southerners) like to show off.
That's what I'm sticking with anyway.If Jesus was so important, why is the Southern Cross constellation so far from the Zodiac constellations?ouch from my friends in New Zealand :).

What is the connection between the constellation pegasus, and roman mythology?? plzz help!!!?
Well Pegasus was an immortal horse with wings that could fly in roman/greek mythology. And since the constellation forms a kind of horse shape, they named it Pegasus.What is the connection between the constellation pegasus, and roman mythology?? plzz help!!!?Take a look at the story of how Perseus slew Medusa, the mother of Pegasus, and rescued Andromeda, the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, from the sea monster Cetus.
Pegasus was later brought to Mount Helicon by Bellerophon and with one kick of his hoof, he caused the spring of Hippocrene to flow. Hippocrene is said to be the source of inspiration to poets. Bellerophon, who slayed the hideous beast Chimaera, became so headstrong that he ordered Pegasus to fly him up to Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. This impudence angered Zeus, who sent an insect to sting the winged horse, who bucked Bellerophon off its back. Needless to say, Bellerophon did not survive the fall to Earth. Pegasus went on to greatness, however, as the "Thundering Horse of Jove" who carried lightning bolts for Zeus.
The constellation Pegasus represents the white, winged horse of Greek mythology.
This beautiful figure can be seen high in the sky starting near the end of summer and continuing through autumn if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. If you are below the Equator, look for Pegasus in late winter and through spring. When looking at the image, it is difficult to see the figure as a horse. That is because the constellation is actually upside-down! Imagine it flipped over, and you can see what could be the neck and head of a horse and two legs sticking out from the famous "Square of Pegasus".
This square represents the front half of the horse's body. Mythologists are still not sure what happened to the other half of the constellation, but some believe a part of Pegasus was used to create the image of Aries the Ram. The square is very easy to find in the night sky. The neck and legs of the horse shine brightly on clear nights.
Pegasus is home to the globular cluster, M15. This is a great object to view with a telescope because it is one of the brightest in the sky. M15 lies slightly northwest of the head, which is made of the star, Enif. Approximately one dozen galaxies are within Pegasus, the brightest one being NGC 7331. It is located just north of the "knees" of Pegasus.

During the month of October which constellation can be seen the clearest ? Answers on the bottom ! . Help !?
1.pegasus
2.orion

4.ursa major ?During the month of October which constellation can be seen the clearest ? Answers on the bottom ! . Help !?well depends on where you are on the planet. Still in October Scorpio is the least likely to be seen.
Assuming the northern hemisphere. Pegasus is on its downward slide, while Orion is climbing. Ursa Major (or Big Dipper) is so close to the pole it is nearly a constant fixture to be seen. A good note for it is that is is opposite the pole star (Polaris in Ursa Minor) from the constellation Pegasus.During the month of October which constellation can be seen the clearest ?

Ok, assuming you live in the Northern Hemisphere, and assuming you are looking at night, with clear skies:
Ursa Major is probably the easiest to spot because it includes the Big Dipper, but recognizing the rest of the constellation takes some experience. Orion is clear and easily identifiable in October.
Pegasus takes a little effort and is easiest to see by finding the Great Square. Scorpio is also reasonably easy to identify by the curve of the 'tail" and the bright star Arcturus, but for me that's the order.

Should NASA go with constellation or direct?
NASA is highly skilled at picking losers in the past 30 yearsShould NASA go with constellation or direct?the big advantage of re-using parts is that you're also re-using the parts factory. it saves a lot of money not to have to re-tool the shop.Should NASA go with constellation or direct?Hi. My guess? Direct is simpler and therefore has fewer things that can go wrong. I do disagree with your 'loser' hypothesis though. There have been many successful missions. Look at the "Spirit" and "Opportunity" missions.
The mythology behind the constellation Aquarius's name?
AQUARIUS, ZODIAC CONSTELLATION
Latin : Aquarius (Water Bearer)
Greek : Hydrokhoos (Water-Bearer)
Sumerian : GU.LA (the Great)
GANYMEDES A handsome Trojan prince. He was seized and carried off to heaven by an eagle sent down by Zeus, to become the cup-bearer of the gods. The eagle and boy were subsequently placed amongst the stars as the constellations Aquila and Aquarius. (Hyginus 2.16 and 2.29)
DEUCALION An early Greek king who managed to survive the great Deluge that was sent by Zeus to destroy mankind. Because so much rain fell during his reign he was represented amongst the stars as the Water-Pourer. (Hyginus 2.29 on Hegesianax)
CECROPS An early king of Athens who was the first to pour libations in honour of the gods. In memory of this he was placed in the heavens as the water-pourer Aquarius. (Hyginus 2.29 on Eubulus)The mythology behind the constellation Aquarius's name?If your thinking about the Earth being flooded again in 2012, it's not going to happen.

Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?
Do you mean Van Gogh? He painted the sky, not a single constellation. And it was a result of his creativity, not a reproduction of constellations. You should look at the painting for yourself. The answer would be obvious.Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?I don't *think* it's any particular identifiable constellation, but more a rendition of a night sky with some trees and such.
Why are you asking?
I have seen that painting in person. And here's the cool thing: I stumbled upon it by accident. It took my breath away--which is something that has only happened, like, three times in my life.
So, yeah, I was flitting around the MoMA looking for a friend, didn't know that "Starry Night" was at the MoMa, walked into a gallery, and--holy crap--there was that painting on the wall.
Knocked the frickin' breath out of me.
You should see it.Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?
made up of textured brush strokes and vibrant color!Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?The night he painted that, there was a furious thunderstorm going on, and rolling globules of ball lightning chased each other across the sky. He captured this on canvas, but because it was, at the time, a capital crime in France to aver the existence of ball lightning, he was forced to call the painting, "Starry Night," to conceal the subject matter.Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?
Van Gogh painted Starry, Starry Night on the Banks of the Rhone River in Arles, Provence, France during his stay there. His experiences in Provence with the intense light led to the evolution of his painting into the energy filled, bold strokes that made his work immediately recognizable. His earlier experiences in Amsterdam and Paris were of grey skies and subdued lighting. It is akin to having a blindfold over his face, then suddenly removing it to show the world in a whole new light. After October, I will be able to tell you whether he was painting a view of the southern skies of Provence.Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?Not so much as something he made up, but rather his impressions of a starry night sky. Like when you lay in a field of grass just star gazing and thinking about random stuff.
You also gotta remember, he was a hopeless romanic and crazy too.Van Goe's starry night, is this a constellation he painted or just something he made up?
this is cool, but not as 'breath-taking' as the real thing...hope you enjoy :)

Could someone help me out with the Libra Constellation? (Read)?
I have a science project due soon. I need to know the story behind the Libra constellation? Like, the myth or whatever. I need to know some of the main stars in this constellation too.. %26amp; Also, I have to do some kind of a 3D model to show it.. so feel free to shoot out idea's for that too?
Thanks in advance :)Could someone help me out with the Libra Constellation? (Read)?Originally, the area of sky we know as Libra was occupied by the claws of the Scorpion, Scorpius. The Greeks called this area Chelae, literally meaning 鈥榗laws鈥? an identification that lives on in the names of the individual stars of Libra (see below). As things have worked out, Libra is now a slightly larger constellation than Scorpius, but is much less conspicuous.
The identification of this area with a balance became established in the first century BC among the Romans, although exactly when it was introduced and by whom has been lost in the mists of history. To the Romans, Libra was a favoured constellation. The Moon was said to have been in Libra when Rome was founded. 鈥業taly belongs to the Balance, her rightful sign. Beneath it Rome and her sovereignty of the world were founded鈥? said the Roman writer Manilius. He described Libra as 鈥榯he sign in which the seasons are balanced, and the hours of night and day match each other鈥? This is a hint that the Romans visualized the constellation as a balance because the Sun lay there at the autumn equinox, when day and night are equal. But the idea of a balance in this area did not originate with the Romans. According to historian Gwyneth Heuter the Sumerians knew this area as ZIB-BA AN-NA, the balance of heaven, 2000 years BC. Hence it seems that the Romans revived a constellation that existed before Greek times.
Libra is the only constellation of the zodiac to represent an inanimate object; the other 11 zodiacal constellations represent animals or mythological characters. Once the identification of Libra with a pair of scales became established it was natural to divorce it entirely from Scorpius and to associate it instead with the other flanking zodiacal figure, Virgo, who was identified with Dike or Astraeia, goddess of justice. Libra thus became the scales of justice held aloft by the goddess.

Hi Fashion!
Follow the upper stars of the bowl of the Big Dipper. They point to Auriga!
You know about the two "Pointer Stars" at the edge of the Dipper that point to the north star. Take the upper of those two, and the similarly bright star to its left. They're the upper stars of the Dipper. Now, follow them forward, toward the upper right. You'll come to a very bright star, high in the northeastern sky.
That brilliant star is Capella, the brightest in Auriga. The rest of the constellation has some medium-brightness stars you can see easily without a telescope, but you should get a star map to locate the rest.
(By the way, following the line from the Big Dipper to Capella, then turn right at a right-angle. The bright yellow-orange "star" is the planet Mars!)
Auriga is high in the sky any clear winter evening, throughout the Northern Hemisphere.What is the location of Auriga? (a constellation in the sky)?Declination 45 degrees. Right ascension 5 hours 40 minutes.
Adendum: Capella, Alpha Aurigae, is one of the brighter stars in the sky this time of year.What is the location of Auriga? (a constellation in the sky)?

To locate it locate orion, gemini first (I assume you know them). Auriga is near it. rises before the orion. It is just above taurus.
Nowadays it will be easy for you if you locate Mars first then look fir auriga near it.
I don't think giving current celestial coordinates are of any use to you.
I'll also recommend you to have some planetarium type of software. Stellarium is free, popular as well as good. Use it to locate stars and constellations.

could start with the swan...

you'll have ot figure out the three word name on your own, as i've never heard one.
wait, does it state the order is a 6 letter word followed a 4 letter word and finished with a 3 letter word? if it doesn't specify order, it could very easily be, cygnus the swan.What is another name for the constellation "northern cross"?your assignment is wrong. the constellation is called cygnus. there is no "northern cross" constellation - that is an asterism within cygnus.
what's with the time limit? are you going to turn in to a pumpkin if we don't post answers before midnight? we are not paid research staff, and will post answers whenever we damned well please.

Should Orions Belt in the Constellation Orion be renamed Orions Zipper?
cause it looks more like a zipperShould Orions Belt in the Constellation Orion be renamed Orions Zipper?when the constellations were named there was no such thing as a zipper.
in the answer to the question: i think it should stay. it is a connection with the way ancient people thought.Should Orions Belt in the Constellation Orion be renamed Orions Zipper?I not sure if it would be counted as a zipper. After all the constalation looks like this:

This shows that it is in the waist area
And in this image: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0302/ori鈥?/a>
you could possibly see more clearly by the brighter stars show that he is slightly kneeling. As it would when someone kneels the belt area slants upwards in the same style as the belts angle
And ussually a zipper would slant the opposite way
To me it looks like a belt. If it was going more more vertically slanted or slanted in the opposite direction then it maybe it would look like a zipper. But unless the starts decide to flip around it still looks like a beltstage stores area code look up

Can the Southern Cross constellation be seen from hawaii?
Yes it can be seen but it's never more than a few degrees above the southern horizon. Today, it appears at about 4 a.m. and starts to disappear into the twilight soon after 6 a.m. It will be rising at 2 a.m. by the end of January, and at midnight by the end of February. By May, it will be visible in the evening sky, but you need an unobstructed view towards the south in order to see it.
Edit: Just to echo Geoff's comment. The southernmost bright star of the Southern Cross is at declination -63潞. That means that the whole constellation is visible as far as latitude (90潞 - 63潞) = 27潞 north.Can the Southern Cross constellation be seen from hawaii?Crux, the Southern Cross, is visible from Hawaii. At this time of year it is visible on the southern horizon just before sunrise.
[Edit] Many wrong answers here! Hawaii is at latitude 20掳 to 22掳 north, close enough to the equator that Crux is visible. Crux is also visible from southern Florida and Texas. Don't answer if you don't know the correct answer!Can the Southern Cross constellation be seen from hawaii?I saw it from the Big Island in February 2005.
The southernmost star of the constellation is at a declination of 63.2 South (I am rounding).
In theory, it is visible (at least when it passes due South) at a latitude of (90 - 63.2 =) 26.8 North
Since the other stars of the Cross are at smaller Southerly declinations, they would be visible from further north.
Since the Big Island is (roughly) at latitude 20 N, this means that the entire Cross can get to almost 7 degrees above the horizon.
If you go up on the mountain (and towards the South of the island), you can get another degree or two. For example, where a road goes through and old lava stream (Chain of Craters Rd), you would be at latitude 19.3 N and at an elevation of 600 m (2,000 ft). The "bottom" of the Cross (for us) could reach 8 degrees above the horizon, with the "top" at 14 degrees above the horizon.Can the Southern Cross constellation be seen from hawaii?Download a great Planetarium programme for free!

What are Draco's (the constellation) prominent stars?
i have to create a brochure for science about this constellation and that is the only thing im missing! ugh its horrible! lol please help!!!!!!!What are Draco's (the constellation) prominent stars?You did check Wikipedia already, right?
It lists the brightest star Eltanin (Gamma Draconis). As well as Thuban (Alpha Draconis) the ancient pole star of the Egyptians. This is one of the exceptions to the general rule that the designated Alpha star being the brightest.

I live in the country, and with a good dark sky Draco is a really pretty constellation as the dragon winds its way around the pole. Now Camelopardalis: _that's_ a really dim constellation!
There are a number of named stars in Draco. Thuban in particular is interesting since it was the pole star thousands of years ago. There is a passage in one of the pyramids in Egypt aligned with Thuban, in fact. The head of Draco is marked by four stars: Eltanin, Rastaban, Grumium, and Nu Draconis. Other named stars in the constellation are Altais, Nodus, Aldhibain, Edasich, and Giausar.What are Draco's (the constellation) prominent stars?That's one of the problems with Draco - it has no prominent stars! Most people do not even know where it is, yet can point out the Big Dipper readily, which is, of course, right next door.
Normally, stars are named using the Greek alphabet, with the brightest being first. Thus, Alpha Draconis would be the brightest, but this really is not saying much.What are Draco's (the constellation) prominent stars?
If you had actually looked in any references you would find that Draco has no bright stars.
Thuban, Alpha Draconis, was the pole star in ancient Egyptian times. Sigma Draconis is close by.What are Draco's (the constellation) prominent stars?thuban, more for historical reasons than anything else.

Constellation Story About Friendship?
For Christmas I'm naming a star after my best friend, I was wondering if their are an constellation stories about friendship?Constellation Story About Friendship?In Greek and Roman myth Castor and Pollux (the two bright stars in the constellation of Gemini) were twins who shared the same mother but had different fathers. This meant that Pollux was immortal and Castor was mortal. However Pollux so loved his brother that when Castor died, Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together. They were transformed into the Gemini constellation. The pair were regarded as the patrons of sailors, to whom they appeared as St. Elmo's fire.

Which constellation, Orion, Sirius, Pegasus, Andromeda or Cassiopeia is the odd one out and why?
I thought Sirius was a star. But I also thought Pegasus was a mythical winged horse, Andromeda was a strain, and Cassiopeia was a disease or a polynesian foodstuff. So I'm gonna say Orion.Which constellation, Orion, Sirius, Pegasus, Andromeda or Cassiopeia is the odd one out and why?andromeda-it is not a constellation/star. the others are stars which make a constellationWhich constellation, Orion, Sirius, Pegasus, Andromeda or Cassiopeia is the odd one out and why?Sirius, which is the chief star of the constellation Canis Major.
In Greek mythology the others are all figures from Greek mythology who were placed amongst the stars.
Sirios, on the other hand was born a star, she was a daughter of the Titan Atlas, and a sister of the seven stars of the Pleiades and the five Hyades. Her proper name was Maera.Which constellation, Orion, Sirius, Pegasus, Andromeda or Cassiopeia is the odd one out and why?Sirius is a star, not a constellationWhich constellation, Orion, Sirius, Pegasus, Andromeda or Cassiopeia is the odd one out and why?

For whom was the constellation leo named after and why?
In Greek mythology, the Nemean lion that Hercules killed as one of his 12 tasks. Hera placed the lion in the sky to honor him.
But Leo was previously known to the ancient Egyptians, who worshiped lion gods, and so did the Babylonians.

Does the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?
may be.......
Orion, a constellation often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation, perhaps the best-known and most conspicuous in the sky. Its brilliant stars are found on the celestial equator and are visible throughout the world, making this constellation universally recognized. In the northern hemisphere, Orion is visible from late fall through early spring.
Orion is standing next to the river Eridanus with his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor, fighting Taurus the bull. Other prey of his, such as Lepus the hare, can be found nearby.
In Australia, the belt and sword of Orion are sometimes called the Saucepan, because the stars of Orion's belt and sword resemble this cow as seen from the southern hemisphere. Orion's Belt is called "The Three Kings" (or "The Magi") in some places and, in South America, it is known as "Las Tres Marias" or "As Tr锚s Marias" (The Three Marys), in honor of Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany, three major New Testament figuresDoes the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?NO it looks like a hunter with a belt and a sword just as its supposed to, take another look ;) HDoes the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?nope.. not much.. but there's a very little resemblance.Does the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?omg, are you sirius?Does the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?

The Right Ascension of the star Vega, brightest star in the constellation Cygnus, is 18h 37m 12s.?
a) If Vega鈥檚 Hour Angle is +3h 10m, what is the Local Sidereal Time?
b) If the Local Sidereal Time is 4h 10m, what is the Hour Angle of Vega?
c) From which direction did Vega rise? In which direction will Vega set?
d) What is Vega鈥檚 Declination? (Consult the literature or the web. Give the reference.)The Right Ascension of the star Vega, brightest star in the constellation Cygnus, is 18h 37m 12s.?Bzzt! Vega is not in Cygnus.
---
Why don't you do your own homework? Here are some hints:
hour angle = local sideral time - right ascension
Wasn't this covered in your astronomy course? That's all you need to answer questions a and b. (You also need to know how many seconds there are in a minute, and minutes in an hour. You probably already know this. If you don't, look it up on the web.)
Hint for question d: Type Vega into the Google search box, or look it up on Wikipedia.
Question c is the only one here that requires an understanding of the celestial sphere. Hint: Vega is north of the celestial equator. The sun is also north of the equator during the summer. Do you know where the sun rises and sets in the summer? If not, buy a compass and measure the sunrise and sunset positions in June. Then you'll understand the answer to this question. For extra credit, make another set of measurements in December.
---
Here's a quicker way of understanding the relation of declination to rise/set position:
1) Get a compass (or at least make sure you know which way is east and west).
2) Go out early tonight and identify the stars Aldebaran and Sirius.
3) Watch Aldebaran and Sirius as they are close to setting -- maybe 11 PM or 11:30 PM, depending on your position within the time zone. Where does Aldebaran set relative to west? Where does Sirius set relative to west?
4) Look up the declinations of Aldebaran and Sirius, and compare these numbers to the setting positions you saw.
5) Consider the declination of Vega, relative to the declinations of Aldebaran and Sirius. Where do you think Vega would set? Where do you think it would rise?
6) Go out around midnight tonight to watch Vega rising. Where is it relative to east?
b) If the Local Sidereal Time is 4h 10m, what is the Hour Angle of Vega?
c) From which direction did Vega rise? In which direction will Vega set?
d) What is Vega鈥檚 Declination? (Consult the literature or the web. Give the reference.)The Right Ascension of the star Vega, brightest star in the constellation Cygnus, is 18h 37m 12s.?Bzzt! Vega is not in Cygnus.

Is the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?
and please say what months you can see it in.Is the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LyraIs the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?
It's very easy to see because it contains Vega, one of the brightest stars in the sky, plus a number of other quite bright stars, all arranged in a tight grouping which looks like a little parallelogram. It's currently rising low in the northeast at around 10 p.m. Daylight Time for observers in the northern hemisphere, easily spotted because Vega is the brightest star in that part of the sky. Once you spot Vega, look below it for the parallelogram. Lyra is visible at some point during the night all year long, because it's always quite far from the Sun.Is the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?Best observed June-September, but up at some time during the night May-October (like right now if you are up very late).
The brightest star in Lyra is Vega, one of the brightest stars in the entire sky. However, the other stars in Lyra (which is a rather small constellation) are not especially bright, and you need a fairly dark sky to see them. Lyra lies near the Milky Way. If you can see that, you'll have no trouble seeing the stars of Lyra.
Vega is one of the stars in an asterism called the summer triangle, three very bright stars that dominate the summer sky. The other two are Deneb in Cygnus and Altair in Aquila.
At 40degrees north, New York City's latitude and just north of San Francisco, Vega passes directly overhead in the summer, sparking reports of UFOs and other nonsense.Is the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?
It is primarily a summer to fall constellation and is pretty bright. Look for the 'summer triangle'; three bright stars forming a large triangle in the summer sky. The eastern-most star of the triangle is Vega, which is the brightest star in Lyra.Is the constellation Lyra easily seen or dim?Lyra is easily seen . right now when the
sun goes down n/e you can see it.
The easiest way to find it is with a starmap and by locating Vega. you won't miss Vega , it's the brightest star in n/e right now. And a blue-white color. I was looking at lyra last night. My favourite constelaton to explore.
Lyra will be in our skies all summer and sets for good in November .
It is very interesting to look at with a telescope.
to the left of vega are epsilon 1%26amp;2 a double star. And the ring nebula is easier to find than usually said. There are 2 bottom stars and if you get those 2 stars in your finderscope, in your eyepiece it will be about in the middle right smack in between the 2 stars.
on this link you can see a good diagram of the ring nebula and the 2 stars on either side.

Constellations is a group of stars that form some kind of a pix.What constellation did you see tonight....?The most easily-seen ones for me are Orion, Taurus, Virgo, Gemini, Canis Major, Ursa Major. Probably a few others, but due to light pollution I couldn't see every star in every constellation so some I didn't recognize completely. But for the ones I listed I could see the major stars.What constellation did you see tonight....?
taurusWhat constellation did you see tonight....?The only one I can pick out of the sky is Orion. It's cloudy tonight...so none.
It is still to early. If it is clear out then the big bear, little bear, Orion, and Orions mutts.What constellation did you see tonight....?I live in the 4th largest city in America...
I might be able to pick out 1 or 2 stars of Orions belt...What constellation did you see tonight....?
It's cloudy here, and has been for days. You saw ORION, not AN Orion. There's only one of them.
I saw Orion tonight. Once I saw it with binoculars on a dark night in California; I could clearly see the Orion Nebula in the sword.What constellation did you see tonight....?

Nebula on Orion the Constellation?
I need to find the location of the Horsehead Nebula on Orion the constellation. I am drawing out all of Orion for a presentation and I just cannot find a diagram that displays the location [and what stars it is near]
Thank you.
p.s. If you know of more nebulae than the horsehead nebula and the Orion nebula in the Orion constellation, please post. It is greatly appreciated.Nebula on Orion the Constellation?The Horsehead Nebula is adjacent to Alnitak/Zeta Orionis, the eastern-most star in Orion's Belt. It is part of a complex that includes the Flame Nebula.
M78 is in Orion as well, a reflection nebula. There is also Barnard's Loop, and the "bubble" around the stars at the north end of Orion.
Addendum: this also shows the bias of the media: the Horsehead Nebula is a *very* difficult target in a telescope (I've never seen it myself), though it is relatively easy to photograph (I have photographed it myself). M78 is far easier to see in a telescope.Nebula on Orion the Constellation?
Here is what stars it's near http://astro.nineplanets.org/twn/b33x.ht鈥?/a>
Here is some drawings etc ..

Here's some good facts

except wikipedia I just looked at it and some facts are so wrong!
Any other help needed for your presentation my email is on my profile
good luck!Nebula on Orion the Constellation?It's halfway down his sword - the three stars underneath the three stars of the belt.Nebula on Orion the Constellation?
Try downloading Google Earth. Then switch to sky and enter Orion in the search box. Once there, find Orion's belt. The leftmost belt star and the one connected to Betelgeuse is called Alnitak. Right under Alnitak is the Horsehead Nebula. The head is pointing towards the bottom right.
The Orion Nebula is a lot bigger and is that fuzzy patch as seen by the naked eye under the belt.Nebula on Orion the Constellation?The horsehead nebula is surrounding the star Alnitak (The bottom left star in orion's belt, nearest the east)
Alnitak is also known as Zeta Orionis.Nebula on Orion the Constellation?
Orion is one of the richest constellations in the sky for nebulae of all kinds. The Orion Nebula (Messier 42 and 43) is the brightest emission nebula in the sky. Messier 78 is a reflection nebula. The Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula, and extremely difficult to see; like Laura, I've never seen it, even though I have observed hundreds of other deep sky objects. It is located half a degree south of Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. There's also a huge nebula encompassing most of Orion called Barnard's Loop, mainly captured in wide field images.
Thank you.

Would You Rather be a STAR SYSTEM or a CONSTELLATION?
=)))))))))))))))Would You Rather be a STAR SYSTEM or a CONSTELLATION?constellation...they are more organised...they have a name to it, astrologers predict a lot of things based upon them. each constellation is like a family. constellations make the night sky look more pretty. the name "constellation" sounds wonderful. constellations are a link between humans and the stars....each human has a particular constellation for him/her.(zodiac signs) .
so i would rather be a constellation....

PlutoWould You Rather be a STAR SYSTEM or a CONSTELLATION?a star and just keep my individuality.
Although the star systems and constellations are of the most incredible beauty and wonder to the eyes and soul. I think I would not consider either, for as a human and even as an evolving spiritual human, I would rather have the ability to look up, look outwards, or wander through the star systems and constellations, gathering the secrets of the universe and have the ability to see from without and travel within it all! I as a human can only appreciate the grandeur of them. If I was either I would not be cognizant of any of it, include humanity.Would You Rather be a STAR SYSTEM or a CONSTELLATION?I would rather be a constellation.It is much tinier than a star system,but when you look at the sky it's not the star systems what you see but the constellations it is made up of,it's the constellations what you watch at nights,it's them that make sense,sailors of old times were guided by them and so on...Would You Rather be a STAR SYSTEM or a CONSTELLATION?
