It is a constellation that never sets due to its proximity to one of the celestial poles. This means that unlike some constellations, it is always visible on any clear night of the year. You will notice when you observe it throughout the year, that it does seem to change position, as it rotates around the celestial pole. Ursa Major is probably the best known of them.

Why is the constellation Taurus the bull only visible in November not in May?
The Sun can not reveal a constellation that it is transiting through. If the Sun is actually in Taurus, this would be during the day time and the constellation would not be visible. At night the Sun is on the opposite side of the zodiac so the opposite sign (Scorpio) would be visible in the night sky.
