Constellations

An example of a unicellular organism is a bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. These organisms consist of just one cell that carries out all the functions necessary for their survival.

Ursa Minor (Latin: "Smaller Bear", contrasting with Ursa Major), also known as the Little Bear, is a constellation in the northern sky

Lyra.

We use the word "asterism" for a grouping of stars that isn't one of the 88 "official" constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union, the IAU. The most famous asterism is the central part of Ursa Major; we call it the "big dipper".

The constellation Bootes ... as well as all of the other 'constellations' ... is a drawing of an imaginary figure in the sky, constructed with stars at several points in the drawing, like a 'connect-the-dots' picture. The brightest star in the Bootes drawing is called "Arcturus". After the sun, Arcturus is the third brightest star in our sky. It's an orange giant located roughly 36.7 light-years from us. Its surface temperature is estimated at between 4,500 to 6,000 degrees Celsius.

Canis Major (Greater Dog) and Canis Minor (Smaller Dog).

The star Sirius is also associated with Orion as being his dog.

It is only partly true. Stars have latitude and longitude just as we do on Earth, but they are called Declination and Right Ascension. A star that has a declination greater than 90 minus your latitude will never set. Such stars are called circumpolar stars. I live at 35° south so stars with declination 90-35=55° will never set. For example I can always see the Southern Cross.

Ok. The Owl lies at the end of Hydra in the region of Virgo and Libra. The Hydra is a snake like line of stars starting at the south of Cancer.

It is made of 20 stars, the bigest star is called Betelgeuse, the brightest star is Rigel (which is 40,000 times brighter than our sun; 7th brightest star in the sky) and it is in the shape of a warior. It also contains the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead nebula.

The group is known as a constellation.

It was a representation of either:

HESPERIAN DRAGON The huge serpent which guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides. After the beast was slain by Heracles, Hera placed it amongst the stars as Draco. (Hyginus 2.3 on Eratosthenes)

DRAGON OF ATHENA A gigantic serpent which was cast at the goddess Athena during the giant war. She caught it in her hands and set it about the northern pole as the constellation Draco. (Hyginus 2.3)

Yes, you can see it anywhere in the world from Earth. As long as its night but, it might be in a different position in the sky during the different seasons.

Earth rotates on its axis.

Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from November to February.

Epsilon Sagittarii, at magnitude 1.85, is the brightest star in the constellation.
