Constellations

There is only one star in our Solar System. It's called the sun. On the other hand, there are 8 planets.
One.

Epsilon Ursae Majoris (Alioth) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Major (Big Dipper).

It has a spectral class of A0 which means it is a white to white-blue star.

The cluster of seven stars in the northern sky is called the Big Dipper or the Plough. It is part of the Ursa Major constellation and is a prominent asterism that is easily recognizable in the night sky.

The constelation known as the Big Dipper in USA or Ursa Major (to give it's correct name) is a collection of 7 Stars and is one of the most recogised and easily spotted contellation in the Northern Hemisphere.

It has many other names. In the UK it is called the Plough, in Germany Großer Wagen or "great wagon", Carlswæn or wagon.

The zodiac is not circumpolar because it lies near the ecliptic, which is the apparent path that the Sun follows in the sky. As a result, the zodiacal constellations are not visible all year round from all latitudes on Earth. This is in contrast to circumpolar constellations, which never set below the horizon.

Uranus is the greek god of the sky. He is cronus's father, and Zeus's grandfather. In roman mythology, cronus is Saturn nd i think Saturn is Zeus. Cronus = titan lord/ god/ etc. Zeus = olympian god

Quite simply, this is the way constellations are defined. Constellations are arbitrary groupings of stars; somebody considered that a certain group of stars looks like a bear, and called it "big bear". This is one of the 88 official constellations recognized by modern Astronomy; you can look for other images in the stars, i.e., groups of stars. Those groups might be part of a constellation, or they may span more than one constellation. The Big Dipper happens to be part of a larger "official" constellation: the Big Bear (Ursa Major).

Constellations are just regions in the sky - a general direction, so to speak. In any direction there are millions of stars. So, depending which stars you count, that is, up to what brightness limit you want to include stars, you will get more stars, or less stars.

Gamma Virginis is a star in the constellation Virgo. It has the traditional names Porrima and Arich.

It is located about 38.6 light years from us.

There are 88 constellation on our night sky.

================================

I have 88 of them as well ... one for each key on my piano.

The two stars in the Big Dipper that point to the North Star are Dubhe and Merak. If you draw a line from Merak to Dubhe and continue that line onward, it will lead you to the North Star, also known as Polaris.

Segin, also known as Epsilon Cassiopeiae, is a binary star system. The primary star, Segin A, has an estimated surface temperature of around 7,480 degrees Celsius. The secondary star, Segin B, has a surface temperature of approximately 4,960 degrees Celsius.

Deneb Algenubi is the traditional name for the star Delta Leonis, located in the constellation Leo. It is a binary star system, consisting of two stars orbiting around a common center of mass. The primary star is a yellow-white main sequence star, similar in temperature and size to the Sun.

Generally, stars are named with a Greek letter designating the relative brightness followed by the name of the constellation. "Alpha" and "Beta" are (generally) the two brightest stars. So the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio is "Alpha Scorpius". Most bright stars also have Arabic names; Alpha Scorpius is better known as Antares.

This pattern doesn't ALWAYS hold; for example, the red giant star Betelgeuse is Alpha Orionis, while Rigel is Beta Orionis. But Rigel is brighter than Betelgeuse! The answer is that Betelgeuse is a somewhat-variable star, and when the stars were formally catalogued, was brighter than Rigel. Betelgeuse has since dimmed a little, and is now less bright that Rigel. Some astronomers use Betelgeuse's variability as a sign that it is nearing the end of its life, and will "soon" explode as a supernova. Of course, "soon" to an astronomer means "within the next 10,000 years or so".

The famous butterfly cluster, also known as M6 or the Butterfly Nebula, is located in the constellation Scorpius. It is a beautiful open star cluster that can be observed with binoculars or a small telescope.

Hanging from Orion's belt is his sword, consisting of the multiple stars θ1 and θ2 Orionis, called Trapezium and the Orion Nebula (M42).

The Greek names for the stars of the Big Dipper are as follows:

1. Alkaid
2. Mizar
3. Alioth
4. Megrez
5. Phecda
6. Dubhe
7. Merak

One is The Southern Cross "Crux" which is the smallest of the constellations.

"Ksora" is not a recognized star in the constellation Cassiopeia. If you have the correct spelling or more information about the star you are asking about, please provide it so I can assist you further.

Andromeda, daughter of King Cephus and Queen Cassiopeia.

The Alaska state flag features the Big Dipper constellation on a field of blue. It represents the state's location in the northern hemisphere and its connection to the Arctic region.

The Southern Cross is not visible from the tip of Baja California because it is too far north in latitude. The Southern Cross can only be seen in the southern hemisphere, typically below 25 degrees north latitude.

The southern cross is visible near the horizon from tropical latitudes of the northern hemisphere, for a few hours every night, during the spring months at a latitude of 25º N or less, with unobstructed view to the South, at around 10 pm, at the end of April.

Taurus is not a physical entity with specific longitude and latitude coordinates. In astrology, Taurus is one of the twelve zodiac signs representing those born between April 20 and May 20. It is a symbol in celestial navigation rather than an actual location in space.
