The swan constellation lives near the heart of what other constellation?
Draco
How big is a constellation?
Constellations are sets of stars that appear near each other and are attributed a character, for example Orion, because they resemble what a mythological character is believed to look like. The stars are usually far further apart than they appear, possibly thousands of light years apart.
Which constellation was the first one found?
People have always looked at the stars. A constellation is just an artificial grouping into an imaginary image or shape as seen from a particular point of view (the earth) and does not represent a real relationship in space. That is, stars that look close to each other from this angle are not necessarily near each other at all, and those positions do not have any meaning. So there's not any real discovery or finding involved.
Are the stars that make up the constellation near each other?
Not necessarily. A constellation is more properly thought of as a direction from the Earth, rather than a region of space. Stars that are in the same direction appear to be part of the same "picture", but one may be more distant from the other. As an extreme example, the star 61Cyg in the constellation Cygnus is about 11 light-years from Earth, while the apparently nearby Deneb (also in Cygnus) is 3200 light-years away. Deneb is essentially "behind" 61Cyg, so they appear to be in the same region of the sky, even though they are very far from each other.
What are stars located near the Earths poles that can be seen year-round at all times of night called?
Circumpolar Constellation
Why do stars that make up a constellation are near each other true or false?
False.
Is the stars that make up a constellation are near each other?

Do stars in a constellation actually forms a cluster of stars?
In most cases, no. In many cases they're nowhere near each other in three-dimensional space, and only appear to be near each other from our vantage point. There are a couple of notable exceptions; for example, most of the bright stars in Ursa Major (including all the stars in the "big dipper" except for Alpha and Eta, which are the ones at each end) are part of the Ursa Major Moving group (not quite a cluster, but definitely associated with each other).
How is zodiac sign related to constellation?
The zodiac signs are stars too! They produce constellation when they go near to another star. Zodiac Signs are just signs but they are stars!
What constellation is Jupiter near?
Constellations are star alignments, and since our sun is the closest star for both planets its the same as for earth. even worse, stars in a constellation are at vastly different distances apart from each other so the only way to figure it out the average distance
The swan constellation lives near the heart of what other constellation?
Draco
Where did ursa major constellation come from?
Ultimately, all constellations come from the human imagination. Constellations are purely a matter of perception. Most of the stars in any given constellation are nowhere near each other and have no true connection. If you change your perspective enough, the constellations would entirely change.
Stars that are found in pairs are called?
Two stars orbiting each other are "binary stars" ...a group of stars near each other, may be formally or informally known as a "cluster".
Is Orion located near a planet?
The planets move around the sun so the planet that is pointed most toward Orion's belt will usually be the closest. Orion's belt is actually three stars that are very far away from each other (just in the same direction) so if you want to be especially precise you have to pick just one of them to ask about.
What is the latin word for berenice's hair?
You are thinking of coma berenices, a constellation of stars near Leo.
