Cancer is in the night sky in late winter, but it's EXTREMELY hard to see in cities because it's stars are very, very faint.

What star is 40 degrees north in the sky?

At 40 degrees north latitude, you would not be able to see any particular star directly overhead as the celestial sphere rotates throughout the night. Instead, you would see a variety of different stars and constellations depending on the time of year and time of night.


When can you see constellations?

Draco can be seen all year around, but the best time to spot this constellation is during the month of July. If you are looking north during the summer months, Draco is facing upright, but as the year goes on it slowly flips upside down. You can see Draco year-round in the northern hemisphere. The best viewing for Draco is during July at 80o above the horizon line while looking North.


Why do lunar eclipses happen at night?

When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.


Do people in earth's umbra see a total lunar eclipse?

No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.


When is the best time to look for Saturn?

The best time to look for Saturn is when it is at opposition, which occurs when Earth is directly between Saturn and the Sun. This usually happens once a year and is when Saturn is at its closest point to Earth, making it brighter and easier to see in the night sky.

Do you see the same stars when you look out at night?

No, the stars we see in the night sky can vary depending on our location, time of year, and the time of night. The rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear to move across the sky, so different stars become visible at different times.

Why are stars always there at night?

Stars are there day and night. During the day the sun, which is a star, is so bright that you cannot see the other stars. So that is why we only see stars at night. As we orbit the sun we do see different stars throughout the year. So ones that are not visible on a particular day will be visible at night at another time of the year.


Are all constellations visible all the time?

No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.


How did people use the stars as a calendar?

You can tell the time of year by looking at the stars in the sky. The ones you see tonight are the same ones you will see in any year on this date. You will see the same ones tomorrow night, but if you go out at the exact same time to look as you did tonight, you would see they were in slightly different positions. As the year continues you will notice that the stars you see are moving and you will start to see different ones. In 6 months from now, most of the stars you will see will be different than what you can see tonight, except for some that are right overhead. So if you can learn what stars are seen at what time of year, you can know what time of year it is and even work out what time it is. That is what people did long, long ago.
