In the USA alone, we see cities, towns, or villages of Johnstown in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
As it turns out, we don't have to concern ourselves with the problem of which one the question is referring to, as
the answer is the same for any of them.
The brightest star in the constellation Carina is Canopus ... second brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius,
and often used as a reference target for automated spacecraft navigation. Canopus is just about the
northernmost extent of the constellation Carina ... the rest of the constellation is south of Canopus.
The celestial declination of Canopus is -52.7 degrees. What that means is that if you're north of latitude
37-18N, then Canopus ... and the rest of Carina ... is never above your horizon.
That latitude is roughly the line across San Jose CA, Durango CO, Coffeeville KS, Springfield MO,
Paducah KY, and Roanoke VA. ON this line, Canopus just touches the horizon. North of the line, it's
never visible.
So, none of Carina is ever visible from any of the Johnstowns that we were able to find in the US. Sorry.
The Sun can not reveal a constellation that it is transiting through. If the Sun is actually in Taurus, this would be during the day time and the constellation would not be visible. At night the Sun is on the opposite side of the zodiac so the opposite sign (Scorpio) would be visible in the night sky.
No. Pluto is a dwarf planet, not a star, and is not visible to the naked eye.
The brightest star visible in the summer sky is Sirius, also known as the "Dog Star." It is located in the constellation Canis Major and is one of the closest stars to Earth. Sirius is easily visible in the southern sky during the summer months.
There are currently no stars in the Orion constellation showing signs of going supernova. If a star in the Orion constellation were to go supernova, it would likely be visible to us on Earth given Orion's proximity.
A constellation is basically a direction in the sky. The further you go (or the weaker the stars you include in your count), the more stars you will find.A constellation is basically a direction in the sky.

Canopus is a bright star that is most easily visible in the Southern Hemisphere. It is in the constellation Carina and has a mass close to that of the sun.
Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world.
There is no constellation like it in the Southern Hemisphere... but the Southern Cross points to where a South Star would be located, if one were visible.

After the Sun, the brightest star is Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major. However, while Sirius is the brightest star visible from the Northern Hemisphere, it is part of a southern hemisphere constellation. Therefore, Arcturus, in Bootes, would be the brightest Northern Hemisphere star.
The best season for observing Zeta Puppis, a star in the constellation Puppis, would be during the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in November to February when the constellation is high in the sky and easily visible.
Jupiter was in the constellation of Pisces on September 21, 2010. It would have been visible in the eastern sky during the evening hours.
Lots of constellations are visible during the winter months. About half of the constellations are above the horizon, and therefore usually visible, at any given moment. What constellations are visible would also depend on whether you live north or south of the equator (this affects the definition of "winter"), on the specific month, and the time of night.
Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation of the Gemini
Polaris is in the constellation of Ursa Minor.
Probably the nearest would be Lepus, the Hare. There is no bunny constellation.
That would be Ursa Major, which is also known as the Great Bear. It is a well-known constellation in the northern sky and contains the well-known asterism known as the Big Dipper. Ursa Major is visible throughout the year from most northern hemispheres.
