Botein or (Delta Arietis) is an orange K-type giant with an apparent magnitude of +4.35.

The small bear constellation is the invention of people who watched the stars and said that a certain grouping looked like a man or an animal. Ursa major and minor are also called the big and little dippers. Your could take a photograph of the night sky and make up your own shapes. The stars in any supposed arrangement has no origin in reality. Those stars when viewed from a different point in space would have a very different pattern. They are not planar with one another. Some are stars and some points of light are really several stars or even a galaxy. Most are a very far distance from one another. We only see them in two dimensions. Space is all about three dimensions. The worthless tedium of astrology, that so many fools believe in, is based on these imagined patterns.

In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was a vain queen, consort to Cepheus in Ethiopia. Ultimately, Poseidon threw them both into the stars, her upside down because of her vanity. The constellation Cassiopeia is five stars near Cepheus, shaped like a W.

Orion is a prominent constellation in the night sky and has been known since ancient times. Different cultures around the world have their own legends and stories about Orion. The first recorded mention of Orion dates back to ancient Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE.

The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation. It is sometimes also considered part of the constellation called the Great Bear.

That would be Ursa Major, which is also known as the Great Bear. It is a well-known constellation in the northern sky and contains the well-known asterism known as the Big Dipper. Ursa Major is visible throughout the year from most northern hemispheres.

Constellations are patterns of stars that have been identified and named by various cultures throughout history. They are typically based on the perceived shapes or figures formed by connecting stars in the night sky. Different cultures have their own interpretations and names for constellations.

Yes, the position of stars in the Big Dipper will change over such a long period due to the relative motions of stars in our galaxy. However, the overall shape of the Big Dipper constellation will still be recognizable to future observers, albeit with slight differences in the orientations of its stars.

Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.

The Sun does not appear in any of the official constellations

The constellation Plough, also known as the Big Dipper, consists of seven bright stars. These stars are part of the larger Ursa Major constellation.

Right below (under) Orion's belt is the Orion Nebula- when viewed with the naked eye it looks just like a star- but it is actually consists of many star(s), dust & clouds. The really bright star in Orion (Orion's "left foot") is the 6th brightest star in the sky- Rigel.

Montana Rusa is not one of the official constellations

What you are seeing in the sky that blinks red, blue, and white near the Little Dipper is likely a commercial airplane. The blinking lights are part of the aircraft's navigation system, used to help identify the plane's position and direction during night flights.

Constellations were used a very long time ago- before modern technology such as compasses- to navigate. People out at sea mostly would have understanding of the order and positions of stars to navigate at night. The constellations make these easier to remember. Also, some religions and groups of people thought that constellations were created by gods in their image or were the gods themselves.

The seven stars of the Big Dipper are indeed the brightest stars in the constellation Ursa Major. They are easily recognizable in the night sky and have been used for navigation and cultural significance across various civilizations. The stars are named Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.

The cost to ride the Big Dipper roller coaster can vary depending on the amusement park or fair it is located in. Prices typically range from $5 to $20 per ride. Some parks may offer season passes or discounted rates for multiple rides.

You can see Canis Minor the best during the winter time. Once you see Orion soon you can see Canis Minor.

The Big Dipper is not visible in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, you can see the Southern Cross, a constellation that is not visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

Actually, they move through more than 12. Ophiuchus did not count, likely due to astrology and the number of months in a year. There had to be an upper-limit. It is 13, with a slight trace through another constellation, but only 12 are counted as "Zodiacal."

based on my calculation is 480 milion to 10 bilion. I multiple the area and divided by 5 LY the average distance betwen stars... 10 000 * 3500 * 2000 / 5 =~12000~

Yes, stars are made up of plasma, which is a state of matter consisting of charged particles (ions and electrons). The high temperatures and pressures in a star's core cause the atoms to ionize, forming a plasma state.

The constellation that resembles a distorted M or W is Cassiopeia. It is easily recognizable in the night sky and is located in the northern hemisphere.
