Constellations

Yes - EVERYTHING in the sky rises and sets, because Earth rotates on it's axis.

Constellations appear to change position in the night sky due to Earth's rotation on its axis. This causes constellations to rise and set as the night progresses. Over the course of the year, the position of constellations also changes due to Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing different constellations to be visible at different times of the year.

The Greek mythology - there are a lot of different ones, the one I've heard is that there was a hunting dog Laelaps that was inescapable. Laelaps was set on a fox who was uncatchable. The inescapable dog chased the uncatchable fox. Finally Zeus turned them both to stone to end the paradox. Then he put them in the sky - Laelaps as Canis Majoris and the fox as a minor constellation Vulpecula.
Hope this helps!

At the Equator, you can see all the constellations over the course of a year because you are situated at the midpoint between the northern and southern celestial hemispheres. This means that the entire night sky is visible to an observer at the Equator as the Earth rotates on its axis.

Hercules and all the other constellations are made up of dozens of stars, all of which are different distances from Earth. They only appear in the same plane from our "galactic neighborhood".

As an observer moves away from the equator, towards the north or south pole, there are more constellations that the rotation of the earth does not ever block from his or her view throughout one full rotation.

Yes, that's correct! Constellations are groups of stars that are observed to form distinct patterns or shapes in the night sky. They have been named and identified since ancient times to help navigate and tell stories.

eye adaptation say 20 min i was able to count 11. , in a dark location 21.

A constellation is just a pattern of stars in the sky as we see them. Stars in constellations tend to be varying distances away from each other, and have no real connection. For us, they just happen to look close together, when in fact they can be huge distances from each other. A star that appears to be beside another in the sky, could be much nearer to a star that looks further away from it from our perspective.

The brightest star in Phoenix, as we see it, is about 78 light years away. The next brightest looking one is about 130 light years away. The next brightest looking is about 910 light years away, but the next brightest looking is only about 220 light years away. There is about 5,869,713,600,000 miles in a light year or about 9,445,950,434,502 kilometres.
