When is the constellation Leo visible in the Gillette area?

The brightest star in the constellation Leo is Regulus. It will rise shortly before midnight, and be high in the sky at dawn. You can download the free open-source planetarium program Stellarium (see link) to see when planets and constellations are visible.


Why is the contellation Leo is visible in the east on a January evening but in the west on a July evening?

The orientation of constellations in the sky changes throughout the year due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. In January, Leo is on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun, making it visible in the evening sky in the east. In July, Leo is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun, causing it to be visible in the evening sky in the west.


Do all planets move around sun from west to east?

Yes all the planets in our Solar System orbit the sun with the same direction of revolution. In space, there is no west or east. There is wide agreement that all the planets formed from a relatively flat disc of revolving matter with the Sun at its center.


What planet is most visible now?

It depends on the time of the year, your location, and clear skies. All seven planets are visible with the naked eye but Uranus and Neptune appear quite faint and Mercury is only visible at sunrise or sunset.

What does Astronomy have to do with the planets?

Astronomy covers a lot of areas like the study of stars, galaxies, nebulae, clusters, asteroids, comets and of course planets. If you go out and look at the night sky, if you know where to look, you will see some of the planets. Currently, in February 2009, Venus is visible as a very bright object in the west after sunset and Saturn is visible through much of the night near the constellation of Leo. Just looking at them, or when we are specifically observing or studying planets we are engaging in astronomy.
