There are 88 "official" constellations as recognized by the International Astronomical Union, the IAU. Everyone has their own "favorite" constellations.
Perhaps the three easiest constellations to see in the northern hemisphere are Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, and Orion the Hunter. Ursa Major is the constellation that contains the Big Dipper, and Cassiopeia is the "chair" or big W in the sky. Most people recognize Orion the Hunter, which rises in the evening in the fall.
