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.

The Little Dipper is part of the Ursa Minor constellation and is home to the North Star, also known as Polaris. Other notable stars in the Little Dipper include Kochab and Pherkad, which form the two outer stars in the bowl of the dipper.

No. Constellations are just patterns of stars as seen from Earth. In reality they are all different distances from us and have no connection to each other. They are all kinds of different stars in terms of size, type, heat, distance and of course age.

In the northern hemisphere, Cancer the Crab is visible BEST in late Fall, Winter and early to mid Spring. Although, it's the DIMMEST constellation and isn't visible in most areas due to light pollution. The planet Mars is IN Cancer right now (4/23/10) and will be for a few more months

Vega is found in the Lyra constellation, also known as the harp constellation. It is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is easily recognizable.

Antares is visible in the summer evening sky(now - 8/24/09). If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, look to the south around 9:00pm - 10:00pm and you will see bright, reddish Antares, approximately 30 degrees above the horizon.

The open cluster of stars visible in the constellation of Taurus is the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters. It is one of the closest star clusters to Earth and is easily visible to the naked eye. The Pleiades cluster contains hundreds of hot, young stars formed within the last 100 million years.

The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called the zodiac. It is a band of sky along the ecliptic, divided into 12 astrological signs representing different periods of the year. Each planet moves through these signs as it orbits the Sun.

During the daytime, the brightness of the sun overwhelms the comparatively dim light from the stars that make up constellations, making them impossible to see. The scattering of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere also diminishes the contrast between the stars and the sky, further obscuring the visibility of constellations during daylight hours.
