Constellations

In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the queen of Aethiopia and the mother of Andromeda. She is often depicted as living in the heavens as a constellation.

The constellation Cetus is located at approximately: Right Ascension: 1 hour Declination: -10 degrees

Slaves in the southern United States used the Big Dipper as a guide to help them escape to the North and freedom. The Big Dipper always points north, so by following it, slaves could navigate their way to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

The Big Dipper is a circumpolar constellation, meaning it is always visible in the night sky. It appears to change its position throughout the year due to the Earth's orbit around the sun, causing different parts of the sky to be visible during different seasons. This movement, known as precession, causes the apparent position of the stars to shift gradually over time.

No, constellations are patterns of stars that we see from Earth. The moon is a celestial body that orbits Earth, so it does not have its own constellations.

The Perseids meteor shower takes place each August and is associated with the constellation Perseus. The shower occurs when the Earth passes through the debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle.

Call me paranoid, but I can't shake the feeling that along with this question in

your homework or your book, there were a bunch of little sketches. I can't tell

you which one it is if I can't see the little sketches.

Yes, the Southern Cross is a prominent constellation that is visible from the southern hemisphere. It is best seen from locations near the equator between March and September.

No, the Big Dipper is not part of Draco. The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation, while Draco is a separate constellation in the northern sky. The two constellations appear near each other in the sky but are distinct.

The Grus constellation is best seen in the southern hemisphere during its fall season, around August to October. This is when the constellation is highest in the sky and is visible for longer periods during the night.

The group of stars found in the constellation Leo is called the "Sickle," which forms the lion's head. It is a distinctive grouping of stars that is easily recognizable in the night sky.

Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.

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 "Northern" star i assume you mean is the one very close to the celestial north pole. It is called Polaris and is in the constellation of Ursa Minor (Little Bear). The big dipper (called the plough here in England) are seven bright stars in the neighbouring constellation of Ursa Major (Great Bear). The two stars called Dubhe and Merak which form the front or shovel end of the dipper, are called pointers as they point towards Polaris.

The surface temperature of Aldebaran, an orange giant star, is approximately 3,900 Kelvin (3,626 degrees Celsius or 6,540 degrees Fahrenheit).

The Big Dipper roller coaster was built in Camden Park, Huntington, West Virginia in 1958. It was designed by John Allen and was one of the park's most iconic attractions until it was dismantled in 2017.

The Draco constellation contains 18 stars that have known planets orbiting them. These stars vary in size, age, and distance from Earth. The most prominent star in Draco is Thuban, which was once the North Star due to the Earth's axial precession.

No, there are no constellations specifically named after Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Poseidon is often associated with the constellation Pisces, as he is said to have created the constellation to honor the sea creatures that helped him in a battle.

The southernmost prominent star in Crux is Alpha Crucis, which is at declination -63 degrees 5 minutes (or thereabouts). The northernmost latitude at which Alpha Crucis can be seen is therefore slightly south of 27 degrees north.

The area assigned to Crux extends further south than that, but I presume you're interested mainly in the asterism (the "Cross"). At 27N, Acrux will fall just short of clearing the horizon at midnight (by about a fifth the diameter of the full moon); you'd need to be at about 26 degrees 50 minutes or so to ever see it rise above the horizon.

The only states from which it's ever possible to see the entire Southern Cross are therefore Hawaii, southern Florida, and the southernmost tip of Texas.

A constellation is a group of stars that forms a recognizable pattern in the sky. They are used as markers to help people navigate and locate celestial objects. In ancient times, constellations were also used to tell stories and myths about gods, heroes, and creatures.

Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky, and they do not predict upcoming seasons. The change in seasons is primarily influenced by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun, leading to variations in sunlight and temperature throughout the year. Astronomy relates to the study of celestial objects and phenomena in the universe, while the study of the changing seasons falls more under the field of meteorology.

The Southern Cross is a famous star pattern in the southern hemisphere. It is part of the Crux constellation and consists of four bright stars that are easily recognizable. The Southern Cross is commonly used for navigation and is a symbol of the southern skies.
