The Big Dipper is called "la grande ourse" in French.

The Southern Cross, also known as Crux, is a constellation visible in the southern hemisphere. It is named because its five bright stars form the shape of a cross, representing the most conspicuous part of the constellation. It has been an important navigational aid and cultural symbol in the southern hemisphere for centuries.

The brightest star in the Leo constellation is Regulus, also known as Alpha Leonis. It is a blue-white main sequence star located approximately 77 light years away from Earth. Regulus is a prominent star in the night sky and is part of the Leo constellation's distinctive shape resembling a lion.

The Little Dipper constellation contains seven main stars, including Polaris, the North Star.

If you are in the northern hemisphere, winter is the best time to observe Leo the Lion.

125 light years!!!!! Remember light years is the meausre of how far light travels in one year.

The story of Hercules is written by the authors Ovid and Theocritus.

Hercules (who was also known as Heracles), was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, the wife of Amphitryon. As a father, Zeus had great hopes for his offspring. On the day of his birth, he announced to all the gods the arrival of a child to his kingdom who would become king. Hera, who was the guardian of married women, delayed the arrival of Hercules. Eurystheus, the cousin of Hercules, who was a "spineless creature", came into the world before Hercules. Zeus had to live up to his promise and made Eurystheus king. As a result of this, Hercules could only be a champion in his service to his family and the world.

Hercules demonstrated his strength right from birth. He choked the serpents that had been sent to him by the jealousHera. When he was born, he was first named Alcide ("the strong") but was renamed "Heracles" ("the glory of Hera") after overcoming the tests that were imposed on him by Hera.

Hercules was educated by Linus, the musician. He learned literature and music but was found to be a mischievous student. When Linus wanted to beat him one day, Hercules grabbed a stool and hit Linus with it, killing him. At his trial, Hercules was acquitted on the grounds that he was only defending himself. Amphitryon feared his adopted son (most likely due to his strength) and sent him to a Scythian cattleman, Teutarus, who taught Hercules archery.

At the age of eighteen, Hercules spent fifty days trying to kill the lion of Cithaeron. Each night he returned to the palace of King Thespius. Because King Thespius wanted to have Hercules father his grand-children, he put one of his fifty daughters in Hercules' bed each night. Thus, Hercules had fifty sons, the Thespeiades, who would eventually colonize Sicily.

Hercules married Megara, the daughter of the Theban king. However, this marriage was not successful. Hera, who was still jealous of Hercules, made Hercules go mad and made him kill his children and threaten Amphitryon, who would have died because of Hercules if Athena hadn't stopped him. To repent from his crime, he decided to leave his wife, Megara, and put himself at the service of Eurystheus, his cousin who was now king.

Eurystheus sent Hercules on a mission over his twelve years of servitude, a mission with twelve labours. On his mission of twelve labours, he strangled the Nemean lion and made himself armour from the hide. Secondly, he cut off the many heads of the Lernaean Hydra and brought back the enormous Erymanthian Boar alive. With his arrows, he shot down the many birds of the Stymphalian Marsh who raided the crops and killed men. As well, he cleaned the stables of Augeias by diverting the courses of two big rivers, the Alpheus and the Peneius. He completed this task in just one day. Furthermore, he brought back the angry Cretan Bull (alive for that matter) who breathed fire through his nostrils. He killed Diomedes, who gave his horses human flesh to eat. He also seized the girdle given by Ares to Hippolyta. Using the sun's golden cup, he brought Geryon's cattle back to Greece from the Far East, fighting along the way with enemies who included Neleus, who was the king of Pylus. Hercules retrieved the golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides, challenging the giant, Antaeus, the Pygmies and the dragon, Ladon, and freeing Prometheus on the way. Lastly, from Hades, he brought Cerberus, the dog who defended the gates of Hades.

When he returned back to Eurystheus, he brought back the results of each labour to Eurystheus. Because Eurystheus was afraid of Hercules, Eurystheus shut himself within a bronze jar to protect himself.

It is impossible to list all the feats that Hercules achieved. Hercules travelled everywhere, including the depths of hell. He stood up to the forces of a different kind and succeeded in injuring Hades and Herawith his arrows. Because of his feats, he was considered a superhuman, conceivably already a god.

Hercules won the hand of Deianeira and lived with her in Calydon. Soon, after being chased by bad luck and Hera's vengefulness, he accidentally killed one of his father-in-law's pages. As a result of this incident, he had to leave with his wife and son and when they crossed the River Evenus. Nessus, the boatman, tried to rape Deianeira. Before Nessus was killed by Hercules, he had enough time to tell her that his blood was a love potion which would bring back her husband's affection should she ever lose his affection.

After, Hercules went mad and went to ask Pythia, priestess of Apollo, of her opinion. She said that to free himself of this evil, he must sell himself as a slave to someone. Omphale, the Queen of Lydia, bought him and he was in her service for three years. This long separation between Hercules and Deianeira led him to court Iole, who was the daughter of Eurytus. However, when Deianeira was informed of this, she sent a new piece of clothing to Hercules which she had soaked in Nessus' blood.

Hercules, who suspected nothing, put on the tunic and was seized by incredible pain. He tried to tear the piece of clothing off but it stuck to his skin; the love potion turned out to be poison. Hercules built a pyre and asked his companions to ignite it.

When the flames started to leap into the air, there was a strike of thunder, and Hercules was taken up to heaven; he had just been immortalized. On Olympus, he married Hebe (the goddess of eternal youth) and settled his differences with Hera.

The best month to see the Aquila constellation is during the summer months in the northern hemisphere, typically from July to September. During this time, Aquila can be viewed high in the sky in the evening, making it more visible and easier to spot.

A circumpolar constellation is a constellation that appears to move around the celestial pole without ever setting below the horizon from a specific location on Earth. These constellations are always visible in the night sky throughout the year in the northern or southern hemisphere, depending on the observer's latitude.

No, the Southern Cross constellation cannot be seen from Penang, Malaysia as it is located in the southern hemisphere and is not visible from locations near the equator like Penang. It is a prominent feature in the southern skies, visible from locations in the southern hemisphere such as Australia, South Africa, and parts of South America.

No, "Big Dipper" is a proper noun referring to a well-known star formation in the northern sky. It is not an adjective.

The Pleiades star cluster has been significant to many cultures around the world as a source of inspiration, myths, and legends. They have been used for navigation, agricultural timing, and as a celestial marker for seasonal changes. The Pleiades are also associated with many deities and have spiritual significance in various belief systems.

Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern,

but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the

same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no

such thing as a constellation's distance from us.

The Earth's Orbit, its axis is aligned with Polaris.

The Southern Cross is located in the southern sky, and its position can vary depending on the time of year and your specific location in the southern hemisphere. It is visible from southern latitudes and is a prominent constellation in the night sky.

The Seven Sisters is a small grouping of stars better known as the Pleiades, in the constellation Taurus. It is a group of six to seven stars (with the naked eye) and about 36 stars (with binoculars) easily viewable on any clear night in the wintertime or very early spring. At this date of writing (3/18/11) it is almost too late to see them clearly, but they are near the western horizon at nine PM. In mythology, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of Atlas. The ideal time to see them is December to February.

Nodus Secundus in Draco is a star that can refer to several stars in the Draco constellation. Without specifying a particular star, it is not possible to provide an accurate temperature. Stars in Draco can range in temperature from a few thousand to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Some constellations near Scorpius include Libra, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, and Corona Australis. Depending on the season and location, other neighboring constellations may also be visible.

Pegasus the constellation is typically depicted as a large square or diamond shape formed by four bright stars known as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Pegasi. The body of Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, is represented by this square shape with its wings extending outward from one of the corners.

ARGO

Not necessarily: There are also other types of "groups of stars".

The International Astronomical Union has divided the sky, and all of the fairly bright stars, into 88 recognized constellations. A grouping that isn't one of the official 88 constellations is an "asterism". For example, one of the common groupings that we talk about all the time is the Big Dipper, which is NOT a constellation! The official constellation is Ursa Major, the Great Bear; the central part of Ursa Major contains the 8 "Big Dipper" stars, and many others as well.

By definition, a binary star system has two stars in it.
