Canis Major contains the brightest star, Alpha Canis Majoris, or Sirius A.

A star changes over time due to the nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core, which eventually depletes its fuel sources. As the star evolves, it may expand and contract, changing in size, temperature, and brightness. The star's fate depends on its mass, leading to outcomes like becoming a red giant, white dwarf, neutron star, or even a supernova.

In degrees, the coordinates for the constellation Cancer are approximately 110 to 130 degrees. In hours, Cancer is located between 8 and 9 hours of right ascension.

Galaxies are not located within a single constellation as they are vast structures in space that can span multiple constellations. Their position in the sky is identified using celestial coordinates such as right ascension and declination.

The area of the sky defined as the constellation Hercules lies between
Right Ascensions 16H and 19H. It comprises 1,225 square degrees of sky,
making Hercules the 5th largest constellation.

Taurus is most visible in the night sky during the winter and early spring months, typically from December to April. The best time to observe Taurus is during the evening hours in the northern hemisphere.

The constellation Leo is a seasonal constellation. It can be seen most prominently in the springtime in the Northern Hemisphere. It is not a circumpolar constellation, which means it cannot be seen all year round from most locations on Earth.
