VY Canis Majoris. It's a huge star! Here's some facts about it:

-Vy Canis Majoris is located in the constellation Canis Major

-In diameter it is 3,063,500,000,000m, and it is 2,000 times bigger than the sun

-If you were to stick Vy Canis Majoris out into the middle of our solar system, it would reach the probably over the orbit of Saturn

Awesome question by the way! Maybe there are bigger stars, scientists haven't found any bigger than that, but keep your eyes open, you might actually discover something! :)

Leo is relate to the constellations Aries and Sagittarius, because these are all fire signs. It is related to the quadrant of Fixed Signs or Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus. It is also opposite the constellation Aquarius.

The constellation Bootes is best seen during the spring months in the northern hemisphere, typically between March and June. This is when Bootes is at its highest point in the sky during the evening hours, making it easier to spot.

Yes, Orion does rise and set in the sky like all other stars and constellations. Its visibility in the night sky is seasonal and depends on its position relative to the horizon from your location. Orion is generally viewable in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months.

Cancer can be seen in the Northern & Southern Hemisphere between Leo and Gemini.

To read a planisphere, align the date and time on the outer edge with the current date and time. Hold the planisphere overhead and rotate it until the current time matches the date and time on the edge. The stars visible in the window will correspond to the ones in the sky at that moment.

Constellations aren't "discovered", they are invented. That is, somebody looks at a group of stars, and says something like, "To me, this looks like a lion", for example. Note that the individual stars are unrelated to one another; they just happen to be in the same direction.

The constellation Leo was already known in Ancient Greece.

The name for a pattern of stars in the sky is called a constellation. These groupings of stars have been named throughout history based on their perceived shapes and stories from various cultures. Some well-known constellations include Orion, Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), and Cassiopeia.

The constellation Delphinus has been known since ancient times and does not have a specific "discoverer." It has appeared in various mythologies and cultures throughout history.

Sure! Here are the types of constellations:

1. Asterisms: Smaller patterns within constellations, such as the Big Dipper in Ursa Major.
2. Zodiac Constellations: The 12 constellations along the ecliptic that are traditionally used in astrology.
3. Circumpolar Constellations: Those that are always visible in the night sky and do not set below the horizon from a particular location, like Ursa Major.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide pictures of constellations. Would you like more information on any specific type?

The Big Dipper is a well-known constellation that points towards the North Star, or Polaris. By finding the two stars at the end of the Big Dipper's bowl and following them upwards, you can locate the North Star which lies almost directly above the North Pole. This makes it a useful tool for navigation, especially for determining true north.

In Greek mythology, Orion was a talented hunter who became a constellation. His belt is made up of three bright stars: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. The legend says that Orion was stung by a scorpion and the gods placed him in the sky along with his faithful hunting dogs, represented by the stars of the constellation Canis Major.

The constellation Leo is the 12th largest constellation in the sky and covers 947 square degrees. The stars in Leo include; Alpha Leonis, Beta Leonis, Gamma Leonis, Theta Leonis, Delta Leonis, Kappa Leonis, Lambda Leonis and Omicron Leonis. The brightest star is Alpha Leonis.

In outer space, water exposed to the vacuum would rapidly boil and vaporize due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. The water would freeze quickly into ice crystals as it expands and loses heat energy. Ultimately, the water would dissipate into space as vapor or ice particles.

Aldebaran is a red giant star located in the constellation Taurus. It primarily consists of hydrogen and helium with traces of other elements like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen in its outer layers.

The Orion constellation can also be referred to ''The Hunter''

Yes, Aphrodite does have a constellation. I wish your question had more to answer.

I hope that answers your question. If not please message me on my message board to ask more specifically, I WILL have an answer.

Constellations are named based on the pattern of stars they form, often resembling people, animals, or objects from mythology. The names of constellations have been passed down through several ancient cultures and have been used for navigation and storytelling for centuries.

(circumpolar - our view of the constellation on Earth)

Constellations are circumpolar because they are only how we view them on Earth. The constellations would be different on another planet or at another viewing point. They are circumpolar since they are at different distances in relation to each other and to the Earth.

The name is Chinese is 天蝎座 (tiān xiē zuò), which means 'The heavenly scorpion constellation'
