How many stars are in the constellation puppis?
The constellation Puppis contains around 300 stars, with some of the brightest ones being Pi Puppis, Eta Puppis, and Zeta Puppis.
Apparent magnitude of Orion stars?
There are 81 stars in the constellation which appear in the Bayer/Flamsteed catalogues. Eight of these are brighter than an apparent magnitude of 3.0 The seven which from the notable hour-glass outline are:Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis).Rigel (Beta Orionis)Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis),Mintaka (Delta Orionis),Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis),Alnitak (Zeta Orionis) andSaiph (Kappa Orionis).Of course, as with any constellation, there are stars which are so faint that they have not yet been detected and so have not had their magnitudes measured.
What are the stars in the Andromeda Constellation?
The constellation, Andromeda, was named after the daughter of Cassiopeia. It is one of the largest constellations, made up of 16 main stars. Each star is named with a character or number and the name Andromeda at the end. (ex: 2 And, 41H. And)
What are the 2 brightest stars in the sky and how can they be identified?
The two brightest stars in the sky are Sirius and Canopus. They can be identified by their brightness and position in the night sky. Sirius is the brightest star and can be found in the constellation Canis Major, while Canopus is the second brightest and can be found in the constellation Carina.
What are facts about Canis Minor?
Canis Major means "great dog". It was discovered by Ptolemy. It contains Sirius, the dog star. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky (after the sun). It has a right ascension of 7h. It has a declination of -20 degrees. 4 of its stars have planets. The "dog days of summer" are so called because Canis Major was visible during the hottest time of the year. It was sometimes considered as Orion's hunting dog. There is also a Canis Minor.

What constellation has 2 of the brightest stars in the sky?
Generally, stars are named with a Greek letter designating the relative brightness followed by the name of the constellation. "Alpha" and "Beta" are (generally) the two brightest stars. So the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio is "Alpha Scorpius". Most bright stars also have Arabic names; Alpha Scorpius is better known as Antares. This pattern doesn't ALWAYS hold; for example, the red giant star Betelgeuse is Alpha Orionis, while Rigel is Beta Orionis. But Rigel is brighter than Betelgeuse! The answer is that Betelgeuse is a somewhat-variable star, and when the stars were formally catalogued, was brighter than Rigel. Betelgeuse has since dimmed a little, and is now less bright that Rigel. Some astronomers use Betelgeuse's variability as a sign that it is nearing the end of its life, and will "soon" explode as a supernova. Of course, "soon" to an astronomer means "within the next 10,000 years or so".

Can we find sirius star in our solar system?
Our solar system is centred round the Sun, which is our own star, while Sirius is a nearby star that is bigger and brighter than the Sun but a lot further away. Sirius can be found near the constellation of Orion, to the lower left of it when viewed from USA or Europe. It is the brightest of all the stars, but the planets Venus and Jupiter can be brighter at times.
How many stars does ursa major the constellation use?
It has more stars as you set the brightness threshold lower. If you include all stars down to magnitude 13 there are thousands, maybe even millions. The brightest stars are magnitude 2 so they are easily visible.
How many stars make up the constellation of Orions Belt?
The Orion Arm is a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy some 3,500 light years across and approximately 10,000 light years in length.Also referred to as the Local Arm, the Local Spuror the Orion Spur.It would be impossible to say how many stars are located within it, as there is no real defining boundary. A guesstimate would be in the order of a few billion.See link for a pictorial representation of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Orion Arm.--------Orion is also a constellation. It contains 2 shoulder stars, 3 belt stars, 2 weapon stars, 9 shield stars and 4 swords stars and is comprised of about 20 stars.
Where is Andromeda in the Orion's belt?
The three stars forming Orion's Belt range from about 5hr30min to 5hr41min in Right Ascension, and their declinations are are within about 2 degrees of the celestial equator. Where you have to look in order to see that part of the sky depends entirely on your location and the date.
What are facts about Canis Minor?
Canis Major means "great dog". It was discovered by Ptolemy. It contains Sirius, the dog star. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky (after the sun). It has a right ascension of 7h. It has a declination of -20 degrees. 4 of its stars have planets. The "dog days of summer" are so called because Canis Major was visible during the hottest time of the year. It was sometimes considered as Orion's hunting dog. There is also a Canis Minor.
Is the north star the 2 brightest stars?
What we see as the north star, or Polaris or the pole star, is a binary system consisting of two stars. However, neither of these stars are the brightest stars. There are many stars that are much brighter as we see them.
Are there any myths about costellations?
Yes like Orion the Hunter. Orion was a Roman or Greek Hunter. He was killed by the scorpio constellation. They say you see his 2 dogs next to him
