What is the most visible constellation in Florida?

The question is essentially meaningless. Some constellations are composed of only faint stars and are therefore hard to see; some are around the South Pole and not visible from Florida at all, but there really is no such thing as the "most visible" constellation. To the extent the question makes any sense, one might answer Canis Majoris, which contains the brightest star in the night sky and is visible for about half of the year from Florida. Another good answer might be Ursa Major, which has several fairly bright stars and is visible year-round.


What year was the Hercules constellation found?

The stars that make up the constellation Hercules - or any other constellation - have existed for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Some stars are older, some newer.

We see "the constellation Hercules" in the sky because our parents or teachers repeated the stories that they had learned from THEIR parents and teachers for dozens of generations now.
