Constellations

Delphinus is a constellation in the northern sky. It is located near the celestial equator, between the larger constellations of Aquila and Cygnus. Delphinus is best seen in the summer months in the northern hemisphere.

The Pavo constellation is best seen in the Southern Hemisphere during the months of July and August. It is most prominent in the night sky during these months.

The zodiac constellation Cancer can be seen in the night sky during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer months in the Southern Hemisphere. It reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight in late January.

Each of the stars in the Little Dipper is moving, but they are all moving in different directions. The same thing could be said about any constellation; all the stars have their own "proper motion". But they move so slowly that it takes centuries for the constellations to change much.

Canis Major is a constellation, not a specific object with a fixed distance from Earth. The stars in Canis Major are at varying distances from Earth, with Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation, located about 8.6 light-years away.

The constellation Norma is approximately 200 million light years away from Earth. It is a small and inconspicuous constellation that can be seen in the southern hemisphere.

The constellation Ursa Major is often referred to as the "Great Bear" in the night sky. It is one of the most recognizable and well-known star patterns in the Northern Hemisphere, containing the famous asterism known as the Big Dipper. Mythological stories from various cultures have associated this constellation with a bear.

Yes, it is. With a low, dark horizon, the pole star, Polaris, is visible anywhere more than about 5 degrees north of the equator; on the other hand, Crux, the southern cross, is visible (at the right time of night) anywhere south of 25 degrees north latitude. Since Trinidad is about 11 degrees north latitude, it is ideally situated for such a double sighting.

Draco can be seen all year around, but the best time to spot this constellation is during the month of July. If you are looking north during the summer months, Draco is facing upright, but as the year goes on it slowly flips upside down. You can see Draco year-round in the northern hemisphere. The best viewing for Draco is during July at 80o above the horizon line while looking North.

The Big Dipper or 'Plough' or 'Saucepan', is a collection of stars that form part of the constellation Ursa Major (The Large Bear). A constellation is a group of stars that appear to form a pattern in the sky. In reality these stars are in some cases millions of light-years distant from one another, and do not form an actual physical body in space.

The Big Dipper is easy to spot most of the time in the north hemisphere as it contains one of the brightest stars in the night sky, Polaris or 'The North Star'.

There is no known constellation named "Chimera" in astronomy. The term "chimera" is often used to describe a mythical creature that lacks a specific representation in the sky as a recognized constellation.

It can be seen from American countries south of Latitude 30 degrees.

Zeta is a number - it is not the whole star name. Each constellation has a Zeta. What's the rest of the star name (it will look very similar to the constellation name but probably ends with the letter "i")?

From the viewpoint of the Earth, all the constellations 'revolve' around Polaris (the North star. As the Earth orbits the sun, its relative position to the constellations changes - and they appear to move across the night-sky.

Cassiopeia, Orion, and Canis Major are all constellations visible in the night sky and are part of the celestial sphere. They each have distinct patterns of stars that form recognizable shapes. Cassiopeia and Orion can be seen in the northern hemisphere, while Canis Major is more visible in the southern hemisphere.

The vernal equinox occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. While it used to fall in the constellation of Aries, due to the precession of the Earth's axis, it is now located in the constellation of Pisces and is moving towards Aquarius. This shift is a result of a slow wobble in the Earth's rotational axis and takes about 26,000 years to complete one full cycle.

The Big Dipper is pretty much visible all year long in the Northern Hemisphere. There may be some parts of the night where it would be below the horizon for a part of the night if one goes really South in the Winter months. But it is circumpolar, and is close enough to the North Star that it doesn't 'set'.

The Big Dipper doesn't rotate. The Earth, however, does rotate. The period of rotation is called a day and the Big Dipper will appear to make a full circle every 24 hours.
