Constellations that are visible from southern Brazil include the following:
1. Carina (Keel of the ship "Argo");
2. Canis Major (Greater Dog);

Specifically, these constellations are configured on the Brazilian flag. In fact, they are positioned on the flag to reflect the sky over Rio de Janeiro on the morning of November 15, 1889. That date is forever important to Brazilians, because it is the date upon which Brazil became a republic.
