The Sun passes through Gemini in the first half of July each year so Gemini cannot be see for 6-8 weeks either side of this time.

The constellation Gemini is only visible from Earth for several months of the year because?
When the Sun is "in" the constellation of Gemini, that means that from our point of view Gemini is on the other side of the Sun, and is only "visible" while the Sun is up.
Is Libra visible all year?
No. For the Sun to be "in" one of the constellations means that the constellation is BEHIND the Sun, and so invisible. Any constellation is, on average, visible for 9 months of the year, with the 3 months of non-visibility being centered on that constellation.
When is the best season to see the constelation Gemini?
In the spring months if you live in the northern hemisphere. There are lots of good websites that will show you what stars are visible at different parts of the year and where to see them. Heavens-Above is one. Click on the link below.
When was the first team of astronauts selected?
It occurred in late 1965. The US spacecraft Gemini 6, piloted by Wally Schirra, maneuvered within a foot of Gemini 7, which had launched into orbit 8 days earlier, carrying Frank Borman and Jim Lovell. (This was technically the Gemini 6A or "Gemini 76" alternate mission, after an unmanned target vehicle failed to reach orbit. Schirra and Jim Stafford also had a close call when their Titan booster failed at ignition on December 12.) This rendezvous was on December 15, 1965. Four months later, Neil Armstrong piloted Gemini 8 to a docking with an unmanned Agena spacecraft on March 16, 1966.
Did Neil Armstrong go on Gemini or Apollo first?
The 6 Mercury flights proved to the world that a man could fly in space. The 10 Gemini flightsconsisted ofa two-man craft that taught the astronauts how to accomplish the tasks required for a journey to the moon and back. This included Extravehicular Activity (Gemini 4), an 8 day journey (Gemini 5), rendezvous (Gemini 7 and Gemini 6A), and docking (Gemini 8). The last 4 missions were used to fine tune the peocedures accomplished by the first 6. Apollo was a culmination of the experience gathered by the 16 flights before it. Neil Armstrong first flew to space aboard Gemini 8, which was launched on March 16, 1966. A few hours aftet launch, he performed the first docking in space between two vehicles when he connected Gemini 8 to an unmanned Agena vehicle. A few hours after docking, the two crafts began spinning uncontrollably, eventually turning one 360 turn every second. They were on the verge of unconsciousness when Armstrong finally regained control and stabilized his spacecraft. Had he not, they would have passed out and died in space. Because Armstong had to use the reentry rockets to stabilize the spacecraft, the mission rules dictated that he return to earth at the next opportunity. Because it was dark in the Atlantic where the recovery ships were deployed, Armstrong was forced to land in the Pacific. It was the first and only emergency return and landing ever performed by a manned spacecraft. On July 10, 1969, 40 months after his Gemini 8 flight, Armstrong guided Eagle, the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, to the first mannned landing on another planet.
