Constellations

because during the summer the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted away. this tilt of our planet is about 21 degrees and shows us different views of the night sky as we tilt back a forth with the seasons. So in the winter you would see a lower portion of the sky and in the summer you are seeing a higher portion of the sky.

You will be able to see many of the same constellations (called circumpolar constellations since they are near the poles and can seen year round) but constellations closer to the horizon and closer to the equator will change

Canis Major, often called The Great Dog. Sirius is sometimes called The Dog Star.

It is the Andromeda Galaxy

80 light years

It is at the tail end of the little dipper, which is part of Ursa Minor, the little bear.(:

• Alpha Ursae Majoris (Dubhe) and Beta Ursae Majoris (Merak), which point to Polaris. (Northern Hemisphere)
• Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, which point to the Southern Cross. (Southern Hemisphere)

Polaris is NOT a constellation - it is a star. It's the North Star, meaning, it is directly above Earth's North Pole.

Yes they do. But they're so far away that you can't see the effects of their motion over the duration of a human lifetime.

Cetus is believed to form the shape of a sea monster, nowadays a whale. You can make your own interpretation of the arrangement of the stars [See related link]

Aside from Cancer being the dimmest zodiacal constellation, the planet Mars is in Cancer (as of 4/21/10)

The Big Dipper is a prominent asterism within the Ursa Major constellation and serves several purposes. It helps with navigation, as its two outer stars point towards Polaris, the North Star. Additionally, it is a cultural symbol, appearing in various myths and stories across different civilizations. The Big Dipper also provides a useful reference for stargazers to locate other constellations and celestial objects in the night sky.

They both are a type of Distance.

Canis major is a constellation not a single star

Constellations are stars put together, usually to form a ancient figure in the stars, a galaxy is much different, They have planets and in galaxies you can find constellations. Big difference

Matariki in Greece is called the Pleiades.

Polaris is located at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper, also known as Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper is part of Ursa Major and does not point directly to Polaris.

Draco has 19 stars and every season another star gets combine

Sagitta 79.9 square degrees, Equuleus 71.6, Crux 68.4.

Its not its always moving

According to historical records, it is the Babylonians who are the first and foremost astronomers in the ancient times. It was from them many constellations came down. Pisces was also one of their discoveries. One of the best people from the ancient times to have a view on the pisces are the greeks. The earliest astronomers in Greece thought of pisces as a bound man. instead of a pair of fishes. To some extent they are also credited with the discovery of pisces.

That's easy! Because our planet Earth revolves around the sun! and no matter where we are in space on Earth it is completely impossible to see AROUND it! THough there are probably just other planet and gas(stars)!

The stars themselves do not move. (Well, they do, but so slowly that nobody can notice it over a lifetime.) The stars APPEAR to rise in the east and set in the west because the Earth itself is spinning like a top.

The North Pole Star, Polaris, is positioned - by a fortunate coincidence - directly over the north pole of the Earth's rotation. So Polaris does not appear to move (much). Because of the way the Earth is spinning, the stars near Polaris appear to spin around Polaris! So the big dipper and the little dipper appear to make enormous circles in the sky centered on Polaris, going around once per day.

Canis Major is bordered by Monoceros, Lepus, Columba and Puppis.
