What else can I help you with?
An elliptical galaxy about 2.9million light-years way is in the constellation of?
That might refer to M32, in the Andromeda constellation. It seems that the current distance estimate is 2.65 million light-years.
Why do you see different constellations at different times of years?
Because Earth moves, and it appears that the constellation moves. It just seems that we see it at a certain time of year.
How did Orion become a constellation?
The earliest reference to Orion was in a mammoth ivory carving which was found over 32,000 years ago. It references a great hunter. The constellation can be seen throughout the world.
Does the day lengths change throughout the year because of the years tilt?
yes
How far is the constellation norma away from earth?
The constellation Norma is approximately 200 million light years away from Earth. It is a small and inconspicuous constellation that can be seen in the southern hemisphere.
Why does the shape of a constellation appear not to change?
The shape of a constellation appears not to change because the stars within the constellation are extremely far away from Earth, so their positions relative to each other appear fixed. Even though the stars are moving through space, the vast distances involved make their movements imperceptible to us on Earth within a human lifetime.
How does a constellation stay the same?
Actually, all the stars of a constellation are in motion. It is just that the distance between them is so great that the motion is not apparent to us. Over the course of thousands of years you could tell they change positions with respect to each other.
Is that possible to draw sky maps in which planets are connected with zodiac constellation on paper for years?
Of course you can draw it on paper and it will stay there. But then it won't reflect the real sky; planets change from one constellation to another, sometimes within weeks or so.
Do the constellation patterns ever change?
No, the pattern of stars that make up a constellation does not change. However, the positions of the stars relative to Earth may change due to Earth's rotation and orbit. Over thousands of years, the positions of stars in constellations may drift slightly.
Can a constellation ever fall apart?
A constellation is a direction in the sky. The stars in a constellation are constantly moving. A million years from now, the sky won't look the same as it does now.
How far is the closest constellation?
The closest constellation to Earth is Centaurus, which is approximately 4.39 light-years away. This constellation is located in the southern celestial hemisphere and contains several bright stars, including Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to the Sun.
What is the distance in light years of Cenaturus constellation from earth?
A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance. Different stars in a constellation are at different distances. The closest star from Earth happens to be in the Centaurus constellation, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years. But please note that other stars in the same constellation are much, much farther from us.A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance.
