How many stars are there in the Pisces constellation?
Pisces has two stars with orbiting PLANETS: 109 Psc and HR 8734.How many stars are there in the Pisces constellation?This question can't be answered, because it depends on how faint the stars are that you count. If you only count first magnitude stars, there are zero in the constellation. If you count stars visible to the naked eye, there are dozens. If you count stars visible in a large telescope, there are millions. If you include stars in galaxies in Pisces, there are billions of billions.How many stars are there in the Pisces constellation?
Some say 21, some say 19 some say 22 or 23. It all depends on whether you include visual double stars as a single star and whether you include stars above magnitude 6.
Will Tirion, probably the worlds most respected star charter assigns 19, but 21 can also be considered correct if you want to include p,pi, zeta and epsilon, I would say 22 myself.How many stars are there in the Pisces constellation?The constellation is composed of about 16 billion trillion stars, give or take 3 or 4.How many stars are there in the Pisces constellation?

How long can someone standing at the equator shortly after sunset observe the same constellation? 12 hours?
maximum ( about) the turning earth means they all appear to go to set in the west
so one that is overhead, not on the eastern horizon would "set" about midnightHow long can someone standing at the equator shortly after sunset observe the same constellation? 12 hours?It depends upon where the constellation is at sunset time.
The maximum it is (presuming you neglect its angular width) ever visible for is not 12 hours...but 11 hours and 58 minutes (one half of a sidereal day)...and this assumes that you have perfect nighttime for the full period of observation...which is nearly true because day and night are always officially 12 hours each on the equator.How long can someone standing at the equator shortly after sunset observe the same constellation? 12 hours?Well, the maximum possible would be the length of the night - around the spring or autumnal equinox, you might have darkness for slightly over 12 hours, and thus, you would be able to view some constellations for that time.

What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?
mine is Draco because when i was little my grandfather and i would gaze up at the stars and he would tell me stories about the constellations and the most interesting one was about Draco. so i just wanted to hear what yours was and why?What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?My answer is definitely Orion. As a child I lived on the first floor of a four-plex, and my grandfather lived on the second. At night I'd look up towards his apartment and always see Orion. I started associating Orion with my grandfather, and as a grown up, every time I see Orion, it always reminds me of him and makes me smile still.What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?
Orion's belt.
It was the first one that I learned to recognize. It's usually easy to find too.What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?I used to stare at the big dipper out of my bedroom window growing up. A couple years ago I moved to the mountains where the skies are so clear that you can clearly see the milky way, I like that one the most now.
I like Orion because even in places where there is too much light to be able to see many stars, you can usually find Orion.What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?Orion...for some reason, I have always felt some connection to it. I always see it in Winter...the belt is so noticeable, the three stars all in a row, and it seems so close, like I could reach up and touch it sometimes.What is you favorite constellation of stars and why?
Hydrus.
My daughter plays rythum guitar in a band called hydrus.
The story behind the name: Hydrus, the water snake, was noted by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who charted the southern skies between 1595 and 1597 on a voyage to the East Indies. The constellation was introduced by Johann Bayer in his 1603 publication Uranometrica. Hydrus resembles a rearing snake, with its head erect and body twisted into a sinuous shape.
mine is Orion because it was the first one I was able to pick out....the rest were easy to find from there
plus...I like saying betelgeuse :DWhat is you favorite constellation of stars and why?
Two favorites for sort of same reason.
in the sword of Orion, one of the stars is not really a star, it is a nebula--a place where stars are born.
The Pleiades, sometimes called the 7 Sisters. I wonder if whoever first called it the 7 Sisters knew how right they were. These are all new "baby" stars that are just ["just" in astronomical time scales] born from their stellar nursery or nebula. Since they came from the same nursery they are sister stars.
As i live in the southern hemisphere my favorite is CRUX(the Southern Cross) because it reminds me of the cross that Christ was crucified on.

What is the dimmest star in the constellation Andromeda?
i cannot find the answer to this on the intenet anywhere
i am doing this for a science progect
if u could site your information that would be greatly appreciatedWhat is the dimmest star in the constellation Andromeda?S Andromedae is 2.6 million light years away, and was the dimmest star, it actually was a supernova in 1885 with a magnitude that peaked at 6, but dropped to 16 by 1879, its iron core was last seen in 1995 with Hubble.
So the dimmest you can see without an observatory would be Ross 248 or HH Andromedae which is a flare star which means its luminosity changes from time to time, but it has an apparent magnitude of 12.29.What is the dimmest star in the constellation Andromeda?That is an unanswerable question. The dimmest star is one that is too dim to see and therefore doesn't have a name or designation.
A better question would be, "Are there any stars in the constellation Andromeda that are below 29th magnitude?"
The reason I mentioned 29th magnitude is that that apparent magnitude is one integer brighter than the faintest star that Hubble can detect.
But a problem with that designation is that it is unlikely for that star to have any significance and so information would be buried in some star catalog of millions of stars.
The "dimmest star" is a constantly changing value as more sensitive telescopes and sensors are developed.What is the dimmest star in the constellation Andromeda?Man, we need more information. You mean the dimmest star inside the boundaries of the constellation? or one of the stars that is bright enough to be part of the line drawing the makes up the girl figure of Adromeda chained to a rock, but is the dimmest of those bright stars?

I have the 'Great Bear' constellation on my chest. Is that a good omen?
I have the Great Bear constellation on my chest in the form of moles. funny part is that either i never realised it until now or some of the moles have surfaced recently. Although i am not an astronomy expert, i think the constellation points to the Polaris, in my case, my left nipple.I have the 'Great Bear' constellation on my chest. Is that a good omen?What! Maybe you're referring to just the Big Dipper asterism in your chest. It would be highly unlikely that the whole pattern would be there. For the "omen" part, there is however no truth to that since stars don't really affect our lives in any sort. Well, if it sparks your interest in astronomy then it can be something good for you. To start up with, find the two star pointers in Big Dipper that point to "your nipple."

What is the most important star in constellation scorpio?
HELP PLZWhat is the most important star in constellation scorpio?Well, I don't know that any of them are more important than any others, but the brightest is Antares. If you see the very bright Jupiter low in your Southwest sky in the early evening (assuming you're in North America or Europe), Antares is the red star just to the south of that.What is the most important star in constellation scorpio?The brifghtest star is Antares, but I don't know how important it is.What is the most important star in constellation scorpio?The most important star in the constellation of Scorpious is Antares. It is the brightest star in that Constellation and the largest Star that we are aware of. It is actually larger than the orbit of Earth. As extremely large stars age they puff up by losing their density. After several billion years of growing their gravity can no longer keep them together and they explode. Antares is a star that is very far along in this cycle of aging, expanding and finally exploding. In fact it may already have done it and the light from that explosion just hasn't reached us yet. Keep watching !What is the most important star in constellation scorpio?
Antares its a red super giant and the brightest and largest.

What is the best season to see constellation Cepheus?
HELP I NEDD INFO FOR MY SCIENCE REPORT!What is the best season to see constellation Cepheus?Cepheus is a constellation close to the celestial pole (Pole-star standing close there), and since stars seem to turn around it due to earth's daily rotation, Cepheus never sets or rises.
Of course, due to earth's ride around the sun in a year, in the evening hours of a night around March, Cepheus rather turns beneath the pole-star. It is rather in the first night hours around September, Cepheus turns above the Pole-star, which is even almost in zenith (straight above you).
It is familiar observers look in the beginning of the night, so Cepheus is the highest in the sky in the Fall.What is the best season to see constellation Cepheus?The constellations near the north pole (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere) are in the sky all night long all year. These would include for most Americans Ursa Minor (aka the little dipper), Draco, Camelopardalis, Cepheus, Cassiopeia, and Lynx.
Other constellations, including all those along the ecliptic such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc are visible only during those months when the Earth is on the part of its orbit where the Sun is opposite these constellations. For example, the Sun now would be in Libra, so Libra is not visible. Six months from now it would be rising at sunset and setting at sunrise.What is the best season to see constellation Cepheus?It's circumpolar from anywhere north of the Tropic of Cancer.

What constellation points to the south celestial pole?
Octans (the Octant) is the constellation that actually sits in the region of the sky where the South Celestial Pole is located. Sigma Octantis is the closest readily observable star (mag 6, really need binoculars to see it) to the pole.
The long axis of the Southern Cross does point towards the pole so you can use it to help you find due south.What constellation points to the south celestial pole?The constellation Crux, the Southern Cross, points toward the pole.What constellation points to the south celestial pole?Southern Cross

What is some history on the constellation Aquarius?
like, who discovered it and in what year? and some other info. thanks in advance!! :D best answer for most info!What is some history on the constellation Aquarius?Interesting question!
The Aquarius Constellation is the eleventh sign of the zodiac, situated between Capricornus and Pisces.
Aquarius is one of the oldest recognized constellations along the zodiac, the sun's apparent path. It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of watery constellations such as Cetus, Pisces, Eridanus, etc. Sometimes, the river Eridanus is depicted spilling from Aquarius' watering pot.
But sorry, I could not find you a "who" in this question.sailboats for sale kuryakyn

What date was the constellation "hydra" named?
Can't find this on the internet anywhere!!! All help is appreciated.What date was the constellation "hydra" named?It already had that name in Ptolemy's original list (almost 2000 years ago). Hydra is a Greek name (峤澪聪佄? so it is not a constellation that was renamed later with a Latin name. It may refer to the Hydra that was killed by Heracles (Greek version of the name of Hercules) in his 12 labors.
Difficult to say exactly when it received its name.What date was the constellation "hydra" named?Tell your teacher that this is a really dumb question to have their students asking, and reflects badly on their competence. Only someone completely ignorant of the history of astronomy would ask such a stupid thing. We're always getting questions like this, and "Who invented Mars?" etc. Don't teachers realize that astronomy is older than human history, and virtually all the names predate written records?

What is the color of the star Hamel in the constellation aries?
Orange.
Climbing the eastern sky in northern Autumn, Aries presents a small flat triangle below Andromeda dominated by mid-second-magnitude (2.00) Hamal. The name, directly from Arabic, means "the lamb," rather obviously standing in for the whole constellation of the Ram. The vernal equinox, the point, where the solar path crosses the celestial equator, is in Pisces south of the west edge of the Great Square of Pegasus. Over 2000 years ago, however, it was in Aries, having shifted westward into Pisces because of precession, the 26,000 year wobble of the Earth's axis. Around the time of Homer, the equinox was situated only nine degrees south of Hamal, allowing us to personalize the time that has passed since the Iliad and Odyssey were written. True to formal form, Bayer called Hamal the Alpha star and the second brightest ( Sheratan) Beta, but then quite broke down as the third brightest ( Flamsteed 41) has no Greek letter at all. Hamal is a warmish class K orange giant star. At a distance of 66 light years, it shines (allowing for infrared radiation) 90 times more brightly than our Sun. From this figure and an accurate temperature of 4590 Kelvin, the star is calculated to be 15.0 times the solar diameter. Hamal is characterized mostly by being so very normal, at least as far as a dying giant about twice the solar mass can be. Very little about it is unusual except for a mild deficiency in metals compared with the Sun. That in itself makes it rather valuable as a comparison for other stars. It has the honor of having (along with Shedar, Alpha Cassiopeiae) the most accurately-measured angular diameter, 0.00680 seconds of arc (a penny 60 kilometers away), from which we find another value for true diameter of 14.7 solar, beautifully in accord with that found from temperature and luminosity. This precise measurement allowed the detection of Hamal's "limb darkening." As a gaseous sphere, the Sun is slightly darker at the edge (its "limb") than at the center, the result of our not looking as deeply into the solar gases. Similar limb darkening can be detected in the members of eclipsing stars as they get in front of each other. Hamal is one of the select few single stars for which limb darkening has been seen, showing that we are not far from observing features on the surfaces of at least some of our stellar neighbors.What is the color of the star Hamel in the constellation aries?It's a K-type giant star, orange-yellow.fashion week 2011 campers

Neopets Altador Plot The Hunter Constellation ?
I am unable to locate it as I have been using a star mapper that you enter star data into then it appears on a starmap. It only goes till 11 and doesnt have the 12th constellation. The Hunter. I do not really understand how to use the coodinates so any tips ? How do I find it.Neopets Altador Plot The Hunter Constellation ?I used the Jellyneo guide to complete the Altador plot just a few days ago (see the first link below) Using this guide, I was able to complete the plot in very little time.
I had the same problem as you are having. Once I got to a certain point, the constellation just wasn't showing. It was because I needed to go back and get my star data again and punch the new, longer data into the constellation finder. I don't know why it's like this, but I seem to remember it being this way when I first completed the plot on another (now self-frozen) account. All of your needed star data just isn't there until a certain point in the plot, but it shows up eventually.
Also, don't forget... once you get your prizes, you can go back daily for a "gift" from King Altador for saving the land. Just go to the Hall of Heroes and go up the stairs opposite the stairs for the Observatory. You'll be in the Council Chamber. Click on King Altador and he'll thank you for your service and offer you a gift. Today mine was a copy of Lenny Crosswords. Yesterday it was a Green Cybunny Plushie. Not much, but it's free so I'll take it! (See the last link below for the Council Chamber... remember... this will not work until after you have completed the plot.)
If you have any more questions, feel free to e-mail me through Answers (the link is on my profile). I'm not a wiz at Neo, but I have been through the plot recently and I might be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck!Neopets Altador Plot The Hunter Constellation ?I used Jellyneo's Constellation finder, but after finding out the coordinates, I cant locate the constellation.I also didnt understand what they mean by "(Insert the above line into your URL of the Archives replacing the %26amp;arcx=0%26amp;arcy=1)".What is the 'above line' ?And where do I insert it in the URL?

What is the best time to view the constellation Bootes (day, month, year)?
also...where in the night sky (north, south, east, west) is Bootes found and what is its height on the horizon?What is the best time to view the constellation Bootes (day, month, year)?In the northern hemisphere, Bootes is ideally placed for evening observing in early summer, like late June or early July. If I had to pick a date, I would pick July 1. It will be in the same high location in the southern sky next year, and the year after that, etc...What is the best time to view the constellation Bootes (day, month, year)?From northern temperate latitudes, almost all year. It's difficult in the fall.
When is the constellation Libra visible in the southern night sky?
If you live in an urban area like I do, the answer is never.
But, if you are a more fortunate individual... Libra is a(late) Spring [or very early Summer] constellation viewable in the southern sky in the evenings (from the Northern Hemisphere).

How many objects did Messier actually discover?
I know that there is a 110 list but I doubt that my teacher would be asking that if we knewWhat constellation contains the greatest number of M-objects?Sagittarius with 13. Not too surprising since that's where the core of the galaxy is located.
Virgo has 9.

What does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?
Ancient people certainly did know about planets. They named them and saw them as distinctly different from stars. Without knowledge of the planets, there would have been no such thing as astrology in the first place. While knowledge of planets' physical characteristics is relatively recent, the ancients were aware of them.
And the Bible, as far as I know, doesn't really interest itself in astrology except to condemn it.What does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?There's remarkably little in the bible about astronomy. Perhaps the ancient Hebrews, being pastoral nomads rather than agriculturalists, had little interest in astronomy. Certainly the Babylonians and Egyptians had much greater interest in, and knowledge of, astronomy.What does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?
Nothing, because the theme of the Bible is God and humanity.What does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?The correct and concise answer is that the bible makes no attempt to enumerate the planets.
To the best of my knowledge, only Venus and Earth are mentioned.
Jim, http://www.jimpettis.com/wheel/What does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?
nothing. they didn't know about planets back in those daysWhat does the bible say about the number of planets in our constellation?We are not in a constellation, and constellations are not made up of planets. We are in a solar system containing 8 major planets, which is all a tiny part of a galaxy, the Milky Way. Some of the other stars in this galaxy form constellations, but the sun is not a part of any constellation.
What the bible says or does not say is irrelevant.

What are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?
A constellation is any one of the 88 areas into which the sky - or the celestial sphere - is divided. The term is also often used less formally to denote a group of stars visibly related to each other in a particular configuration or pattern.
Some well-known constellations contain striking and familiar patterns of bright stars. Examples are Ursa Major (containing the Big Dipper), Orion (containing a figure of a hunter), Leo (containing bright stars outlining the form of a lion) and Scorpius (a scorpion). Other constellations do not encompass any discernible star patterns, and contain only faint stars.
A galaxy is a huge gravitationally bound system of stars, interstellar gas and dust, plasma, and (possibly) unseen dark matter. Typical galaxies contain ten million to one trillion (107 to 1012) stars, all orbiting a common center of gravity. In addition to single stars and a tenuous interstellar medium, most galaxies contain a large number of multiple star systems and star clusters as well as various types of nebulae. Most galaxies are several thousand to several hundred thousand light years in diameter and are usually separated from one another by distances on the order of millions of light years.
Although theoretical dark matter appears to account for around 90% of the mass of most galaxies, the nature of these unseen components is not well understood. There is some evidence that supermassive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies.
Intergalactic space, the space between galaxies, is filled with a tenuous plasma with an average density less than one atom per cubic meter. There are probably more than a hundred billion (1011) galaxies in our observable universeWhat are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?A galaxy is the collection of all the stars orbiting a central point.
A constellation (or asterism...) is a collection of stars forming a pattern to an observer in a particular location (like, on the earth).What are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?
a constellation is the formation of stars, eg the big dipper, the plough.
a galaxy is a chocolate bar....
only joking, its another word for solar system.What are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?A constellation is just an imaginary shape formed by stars according to tradition and astrology and such.
A galaxy is a scientific term for a large group of stars and whatever else is floating around between them.
Constellations are stars within a galaxy. They are just "drawings" that people long ago imagined certain groups of stars looked like. Galaxies have billions and billions of stars. They are used mainly to know which part of the sky you are looking at since the stars move very slowly from our point of view.What are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?A constellation is a group of stars as they appear to the naked eye from earth. They may be from different galaxies but still seem to be close to each other to us looking up.
A galaxy OTOH is a group of stars that are, relatively speaking, close to one another.What are the differences between a constellation and a Galaxy?
A constellation is a collection of stars that resemble a figure in a myth or story, where as a galaxy is a cluster of stars that may or may not be part of a constellation. Many stars found in constellations are in different galaxies.

Taking Back Astornomy by Jason Lysle
A lot of confusing answers here.
Constellations are imaginary groupings of stars - just the imaginations of ancient observers. The stars are mainly not connected to each other at all - they may be at vastly different distances - we just see them near each other because we cannot judge depth at that distance.
Galaxies are huge groups of billions of stars.
Note that every star we see in the sky is in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. And the vast majority are within 1000 light years, whereas the galaxy is in in excess of 100,000 light years across.
Note also, it takes a fairly powerful telescope to resolve stars in even the nearest galaxies.
Note again, do not confuse Solar System with Galaxy. The Solar System is simply the sun's family of planets, asteroids, etc. The sun is just one of many billions of stars in the Galaxy, many of which will have their own system of planets.
Constellation has two definitions.
The one that most people use is a grouping of stars that people assign a picture, and maybe a story to. Like the summer triangle, or the Big Dipper. The stars almost certainly aren't close to each other, they just appear to be in the same part of the sky when viewed from earth.
When astronomers started studying the sky systematically, they split up the sky into chunks based on the constellations that the Ancient Greeks made, that had been handed down in the European tradition ever since. So to an astronomer, a constellation is a specific part of the sky, with all the stars in it.
The way our universe turns out, starts aren't just randomly, or evenly distributed in space. They cluster together, billions and billions together. We call those clusters galaxies.

These are the three brightest stars in Leo and the only ones with a magnitude less than 3.What is the distance to the constellation of Leo?There isn麓t an answer to your question because every star you see, even those within a certain constellation, are all at different distances from earth. I only have the distance of one star in Leo, Regulus. It is 77.5 lightyears from earth. Regulus is also known as alpha Leonis A with the alpha meaning it is the brightest star in Leo. The A means it has a companion but this is not a star. It is a white dwarf or a stellar corpse.
The other stars in Leo are thus named beta leonis (or Deneb) gamma leonis, delta leonis etc. You might be able to search these names, find out the distance for each one and make an average distance from that. That distance would be the center of the three dimensional structure Leo would make up.What is the distance to the constellation of Leo?All the stars in the constellation of Leo are all at different distances from the Earth.

Any chance Obama will NIX the Constellation program?
Due to increased costs, the review of the program is to take place and be reported sometime next month.Any chance Obama will NIX the Constellation program?Not if its pork; but if its a program that actually works and funcitons for a purpose then yes he will nix it.
Who named the constellation Pegasus?
%26amp; Where is it seen visable in the night sky?
Also what are some major galaxies and/or clusters that are associated with the constellation, they locatedWho named the constellation Pegasus?Pegasus represents a winged horse of Greek mythology, a figure that appears quite often, most spectacularly as the great winged steed of Bellerophon. The word Pegasus itself is derived from the Greek meaning 'strong'. Pegasus was the son of Neptune and Medusa the Gorgon, and sprang from the blood of his mother when her head had been severed by Perseus. Because Pegasus was considered a mortal, when he died he was placed in the heavens as a constellation by Zeus. Adjoining Pegasus is Equuleus, the foal.
The most distinctive part of constellation is the Great Square of Pegasus. Its northernmost star, Sirrah, was incorparated into Andromeda when the constellation boundaries were formalized in the 1930s; it used to be delta (δ) Pegasi. Because of its position in the sky, the first two objects in the New General Catalogue (NGC) appear in the Pegasus. NGC 1 and NGC 2 are distant, unremarkable galaxies, indeed this large constellation as a whole is remarkably devoid of any objects of interest to amateur astronomers, the notable exception being the globular cluster M15.
дерьмо????Who named the constellation Pegasus?some guy who was just horsing around?
seriously if you go to the near East and look up at the night sky you will see so many more stars than in northern Europe, that they actually look like join the dot pictures. I was taken aback when i was first in the Negev desert

What type of star is constellation virgo ?
Is it a red giant, main sequence star, white dwarf ? DOES ANYONE KNOW ?????What type of star is constellation virgo ?Virgo is many stars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sta鈥?/a>What type of star is constellation virgo ?
Constellation Virgo, is a... constellation: a group of star that have been grouped together for the purpose of mapping the sky.
From Earth, constellations are simply groups of stars that happen to be in the same general direction (the stars themselves can be a very different distances from us, so they are not really together).
In ancient Greece (over 2000 years ago), many stars were seen to represent figures and these figures were given names from Greek mythology.
Virgo, the Virgin (meaning young girl, in those days) is seen as a young woman holding an ear of wheat. She was associated with the goddess of harvest. When the Sun entered that region of the sky, in the Fall, it was harvest time.
There are many stars in Virgo. The most brilliant one is called Spica.
It is slightly hotter and bigger than our Sun; it is also a variable star.
For amateur astronomers, the constellation is where we can find a lot of galaxies (not visible by eye, but visible through moderate telescopes).What type of star is constellation virgo ?a constellation is a collection of stars, not just one star.What type of star is constellation virgo ?

What is the Aquarius constellation's significance to the zodiac?
It is one of the zodiacal constellations.
It has no special significance over any other one. Of course the stars in each constellation are different.
Here is an article on the zodiac
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZodiacWhat is the Aquarius constellation's significance to the zodiac?Amongst the 12 signs of Zodiac as were originally conceived (not circumscribed into boundaries), many are 'dull' constellations. Only a few are bright, having first magnitude stars - Taurus (Aldebaran), Gemini (Pollux), Leo (Regulus), Virgo (Spica), Scorpius (Antares). Aquarius is particularly dull. Its brightest stars (brightness ranked with name %26amp; as per Bayer's nomenclature, apparent magnitude %26amp; spectral type):
155. 'Sadalsuud' (Beta Aq) ; 2.91; G0Ib
162. 'Sadalmelik' (Alpha Aq) ; 2.96; G2Ib
About two millennia have passed when the circle of Zodiac was fixed with the starting point placed at Vernal Equinox (VE), occurring when Sun crosses over from Pisces to Aries. It was (%26amp; is) called the 'First point of Aries'. Later it was found that the (Celestial) Equator (one of the pair of points whose intersection with Zodiac is Vernal Equinox) precesses on the Zodiac at the rate of 25,800 years per cycle and the VE recedes back to Pisces and so on with each zodiacal sign covering 2150 years. Now we are in the process of witnessing the VE precessing through Pisces. 2150years after VE was fixed as 'First point of Aries' (may be in 450 AD), VE will enter 'Aquarius' ushering in the Age of Aquarius as per some.What is the Aquarius constellation's significance to the zodiac?why are you asking here?

What is the best time of year to see the constellation of ursa major and ursa minor in the usa, and why?
It's for a projectWhat is the best time of year to see the constellation of ursa major and ursa minor in the usa, and why?Spring and summer usually. But then again, it depends on what time you view it. You could get up at 3am in december to see it well. Or you could
do a 9pm observing session in april. Your choice. Depending on your latitude Ursa major may be circumpolar (as well as his smaller friend)
The farther north you live, the easier it is to see the Duo. If you live in arizona or florida (and other southern states), its going to be hard to see them in any other time but spring.
Hope this helps What is the best time of year to see the constellation of ursa major and ursa minor in the usa, and why?I'd say May. Ursa Minor kind of goes from Polaris toward the Big Dipper, so when Ursa Major is best positioned, Ursa Minor is too. The Big Dipper is at about 11 hrs right ascension. As I recall, Orion, which is at about 6h right ascension is conveniently visible in the south just after dark around the beginning of January. The Big Dipper follows Orion by five hours of sidereal time. So Ursa Major would be most conveniently visible in the early evening at its high point above the pole star about (11-6)/12 fraction of the year from 1 January, which is about the middle of May. I didn't look on any star atlas maps for this; I'm just going from memory.What is the best time of year to see the constellation of ursa major and ursa minor in the usa, and why?Spring and summer, because that's when Ursa Major is highest in the sky. Ursa Minor is _always_ well placed, because it includes Polaris, the PoleStar.

What is the current position of comet elenin? what constellation is it in?
is it visible in a scope yet? i have a 12 inch dob.What is the current position of comet elenin? what constellation is it in?In J2000 coordinates, RA 10h 50.0m Dec 06掳 04.6', which puts it in Sextans. Starry Night says it is magnitude 11.8, so it should be visible in a 12-inch. It's 15掳 away from the Moon tonight, which might make it hard to see. I'd wait a couple of weeks until the Moon is past full.What is the current position of comet elenin? what constellation is it in?Current position: RA 10h 50m 12.01s, Dec = +06d 03' 21.0" . That's in Leo. Total magnitude = 13.41 (based on early observations). It's about 57 degrees from the sun.
Other sources give a magnitude of 9.38, brighter than expected. Should peak at about M = 6.What is the current position of comet elenin? what constellation is it in?I punched in those astronomical coordinates into NASA's Skyview Vrtual Telescope and there was nothing. Then I decided to switch to infrared (IRAS) and what do you know? The entire image was BLACKED OUT!? I am sorry but that is just too shady for me to believe that it was another stitching error as I am reminded of the Google Sky blackout. The government is hiding something and I think it is a dwarf star and NOT a little BS comet. David Morisson from NASA is a little Illuminati Puppet and shouldn't be taken seriously. It will not be visible on telescope unless you have one capable of Infrared imaging but all the chemclouds in the sky might make it hard to see even then.God Bless people!!! And all you sheep out there, F*** yourselves...money games acura tsx

How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?
Yes.
If you look at the constellation so that the shoulders are up, the true north is 82 degrees above orion's head.
If you draw a line from the middle of the belt of orion, through the middle of the shoulders (through the star Meissa at the neck), and follow it half way across the sky, it will lead to the celestial north pole (true north).
It's not the best way to find north, but it is an easy to recognize constellation in the winter sky.How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?http://www.truthbook.com/images/site_ima鈥?/a>How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?
You can't, since Orion is on the celestial equator, 90掳 away from the celestial poles. Use the Big Dipper, which points towards Polaris, which is very close to the celestial pole.
Actually an experienced astronomer could probably estimate north from Orion, but it's not something a beginner could do.How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?Orion is 90 degrees away from the Pole-Star. The only thing why you still want to take Orion, is to know what height the celestial equator lies above your southern horizon. Yes, the 3 stars making the Belt of Orion lie on the celestial equator. But still you have to wait until Orion also rises the highest above your south.
Then you can know the height of the Pole-Star above your northern horizon (the opposite horizon). If Orion stands 40 degrees high above your south, then the Pole-Star is 50 degrees (90-40) above your north.How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?
You can't.How can I find True North through the Orion constellation ?Use the small glimmer of light from the Orion stars to view your compass!!
Actually, due to the slow movement of the poles and slightly changing magnetism, I believe that compasses no longer point "true north".
Hispanics would laugh at the idea of finding true north. They use the term "north" to indicate directionally challenged, so if someone is "north", they can't find anything!

What are some fun facts about the Orion constellation?
I need some interesting information.What are some fun facts about the Orion constellation?There are more bright stars in the constellation than in others. The nebula M42 is the most spectacular in the sky. To find out more, read the Wikipedia link.
Explain why a constellation that is seen this month cannot be seen 6 months later?
Need help with some Astronomy homework.Explain why a constellation that is seen this month cannot be seen 6 months later?Because the earth axis is at an 23* angle. This is also why we have the 4 seasonsExplain why a constellation that is seen this month cannot be seen 6 months later?Because the Earth, as well as everything else, is rotating and moving. Some constellations, like Orion's belt for example, can be seen on the south in winter, but in summer, you see it on the north.
I suggest you buy an astronomy map.

When and where can you see the Hercules constellation?
Like in what Hemisphere, and when (like seasons)?When and where can you see the Hercules constellation?Hercules is a late spring (May) and summer constellation visible in the northern hemisphere west of the bright star Vega in Lyra. Hercules is a rather large and dim constellation famous for M13 the brightest globular cluster in the northern hemisphere.When and where can you see the Hercules constellation?'Hercules' is the largest Summer constellation. Your interjection of the term 'Hemisphere' is irrelevant and totally useless in this context, as all constellations for visibility depend on the latitude only. At extreme latitudes (North %26amp; South) some circumpolar constellations are not visible to the location. It implies that you can see 'Hercules' constellation from anywhere in Summer at the same clock time in USA, Nigeria or Australia (low in the Northern horizon, though) but partly seen from Tierra del Fuego or Patagonia.
It is the 5th largest (1225 square degrees, in a total sky area of 41,252.96 sq.deg.) constellation with no notably brilliant stars in it. Its brightest, 'Kornephoros' (Beta Hercules) is108th brightest (magn.2.77), while its neighbouring constellation of 'Lyra' to the East has the brilliant Blue 'Vega' (magn.0.03) 5th brightest and to its West is 'Bootes' constellation with its even brighter Orange star, 'Arcturus' (magn.-0.04) 4th brightest to its south.When and where can you see the Hercules constellation?I can see it after 10pm now in the northern hemisphere.

Why is a constellation at a different location at the same time on different nights?
Please make it as short as possible! I'm very bad with astronomyWhy is a constellation at a different location at the same time on different nights?Because we are in an orbit around the Sun. Each night at the same time we are at a different point in the orbit, so the constellations have all shifted slightly from the night before. The shift amounts to about four minutes per night. For example, if you look at the constellations tonight at 10 PM, they will be in that same position tomorrow night at 9:56 PM.Why is a constellation at a different location at the same time on different nights?Because the Earth is constantly moving around the Sun, giving us a slightly different view of the sky every night.Why is a constellation at a different location at the same time on different nights?it isnt the earth just moved so it looks like it is in a different placeWhy is a constellation at a different location at the same time on different nights?

What was the constellation hercules known as in mythologies apart from greek and roman?
the babylonians represented it as gilgamesh, but there must have been more!
thank you :)What was the constellation hercules known as in mythologies apart from greek and roman?In Assyrian writings circa 3000 BC the constellation of Hercules was known as what translates to "The Kneeler". He was seen as a hero kneeling with his foot restraining a dragon's head.
Sometimes mythology and legends are blended together over long periods of time. There are writings which say that Gilgamesh is also known as Nergal, who resides in the underworld. But in other writings Hercules is also described as being Nergal.

How do things change when Mars enters constellation Leo?
please explain and how abrubt is this?
also, how this affects people when Mars goes in retrograde too?
please explain
thanks for your answers!How do things change when Mars enters constellation Leo?Things will change for each of us personally depending on what house Mars is in and the aspects made to our natal and progressed planets.
With Mars in Leo the focus will be on creativity, self-confidence, self-promotion, drama, pride, and romance.
Mars has one purpose -- ACTION!! Mars, the energy that helps you go for it and express your desires, doesn't like to be stopped and turned inward; this concept makes no sense to Mars (are you seething with anger yet??). When Mars stations and travels Retrograde, its excited, active energy becomes covert and calculated; its motives are hidden. Careful -- inwardly turned outward-bound energy can become toxic! Positively, Mars Retrograde can give you a chance to think before acting; to assess your motives and aggressions before reacting; to find your inner demons and send them packing before they continue to interfere with your life. Indecision and delays can be an clue that you need to make better plans -- back to the drawing board!! with renewed patience...
Mars will Retrograde in Leo just before 2009 Winter Solstice, on December 20, 2009. The section of your chart where Mars is Retrograde is likely the place where you experience the most inertia BEFORE the Retrograde station and the most backward movement or even loss of recent gains DURING the Retrograde of Mars.How do things change when Mars enters constellation Leo?ask leo what the what does mars think it's playing at, it might happen

How do you use a star/constellation wheel?
Most are designed so that you hold it over your head, with the wheel oriented so north on it faces north in the sky, and then the constellations appear in their normal position (making certain the date in the little box is correct, and it is the right time as well).
You don't, of course, really have to do that. Just face in the direction you want, orient the wheel so that the "horizon" on the wheel represents the same direction you are facing, and remember that the other "horizon" on the wheel (the one straight up) represents the real horizon behind you.
I find those wheels very useful for the broad picture. Star maps are good if you have a telescope or binoculars, but remember that telescopes invert images in one way or another and you must compensate mentally for that inversion.How do you use a star/constellation wheel?you have to line up the date to the current time (assuming that you are talking aobut a planisphere) so tonight you'd like up september 5th to 9 pm for example. then you would hold the planisphere up to the sky so that the directions match up
if you lay the planisphere flat you will notice that the directions are backwards, holding it up will show the directions in the proper..umm.. directions.

Roughly speaking, north. To give a more specific answer, we need to know your location, and the date and time of night you're looking for it. Remember, the Earth rotates one every 24 hours and moves around the Sun once every 365 days, so the positions of all the constellations are constantly changing.What is the direction of the constellation cassiopeia?Cassiopeia is circumpolar from northern temperate latitudes. It's a very prominent M or W in the northern sky.

a)Jupiter

d)VenusWhat planet is near the constellation Orion?At this precise moment, D) Venus, is closest to Orion in terms of angular separation. However, it is actually situated in Gemini's area of the night sky.
As has already been stated this does not confer actual physical proximity, but merely that you would look in the approximate direction of Orion to see Venus... if you could actually see Orion at night at this time of year, which you can't since the Sun is off in that direction too.
None of the others are remotely close.What planet is near the constellation Orion?None of these planets are anywhere near Orion at present. Venus is in Cancer, Mars in Leo, and Saturn in Virgo. Jupiter is in Pisces. None of the planets can _ever_ be in Orion, since it is not part of the ecliptic, the path the Sun and planets take across the sky. The closest they can be is in Gemini or Taurus.

How far is constellation andromeda from the constellation orion? Is there a 3d or 4d map i can view?
A constellation is really just an earth-centered view of a part of the universe. It's physical dimension is infinite, so there cannot be a 3-d map of a constellation.
But there CAN be (and are) 2-d maps of constellations. Their separations are not measured in distance (because the celestial sphere -- the sky -- is considered to be at an infinite distance), but it can be measured in degrees.
At their closest, the two constellations are separated by about 45 degrees.
You can see the constellations using Google Earth. From the "View" menu, select Explore %26gt; Sky. If you want to see the constellation boundaries, go to the Layers panel (bottom left) and under "Backyard Astronomy" check the Constellation Boundaries box.How far is constellation andromeda from the constellation orion?

How far are we from the constellation draconis?
i'd like to know or learn how to determine where philippines or quezon city will be when the star Polaris moves from the ursa minor to the constellation Draconis.How far are we from the constellation draconis?It is approximately 88 light years from Earth.How far are we from the constellation draconis?1) Constellations have no reality in space. They are merely a group of stars in the same general direction in space as seen from Earth, but at many different distances. You can say how far we are from any individual star in Draco, but not the constellation as a whole.
2) The star Polaris is not moving significantly. What is moving is the direction in which the polar axis of the Earth is pointing. Currently it is pointing at Polaris, a star in Ursa Minor. In 10,000 years or so, it will be pointing at Thuban, a star in Draco. Neither star will have moved much, but the polar axis of the Earth will have moved.
3) The change in the direction the Earth's axis is pointing will have no effect on the location of the Philippines, Quezon City, or any place on Earth. Our coordinate system of longitude and latitude is relative to the rotational pole, and does not change as the direction the pole points changes.How far are we from the constellation draconis?Constellations are composted of many unrelated stars; each star is at a different distance. Ursa minor is not moving into Draco.How far are we from the constellation draconis?

What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation draco?
i need help because i haven't found it on the internet if you could find me the website were you found it todayWhat is the latitude and longitude of the constellation draco?Constellations do NOT have latitude or longitude. They can have Right Ascension and Declination - which is analogous to latitude and longitude, but not the same.
Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(cons鈥?/a> gives:
RA: 17 hrs., DEC.: +65 deg.
You're not going to get precise coordinates, unless you specify an exact star.What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation draco?That is easy if you use "Google Earth" just click view, click sky and you will see all of the awesome constellation by the Equatorial Coordinate System
Draco is a constellation in the "far northern sky". Its name is Latin for dragon. Draco is circumpolar (that is, never setting) for many observers in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today.
Remember: The "Equatorial Coordinate System" is a popular method of mapping celestial objects. It functions by projecting the Earth's geographic poles, equator, and ecliptic onto the celestial sphere. This allows stars to be cataloged by objective locations (as opposed to the horizontal coordinate system, commonly known as an altitude-azimuth or azimuth-elevation system, in which stars' coordinates are dependent on the observer's location on Earth). The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, the projections of the Earth's North and South geographic poles become the North and South celestial poles, respectively.
There are two systems to specify the longitudinal (longitude-like) coordinate:
the hour angle system is fixed to the Earth like the geographic coordinate system
the right ascension system is fixed to the stars, thus, during a night or a few nights, it appears to move across the sky as the Earth spins and orbits under the fixed stars. Over long periods of time, precession and nutation effects alter the earth's orbit and thus the apparent location of the stars. When considering observations separated by long intervals, it is necessary to specify an epoch (frequently J2000.0, for older data B1950.0) when specifying coordinates of planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

You're not going to get precise coordinates, unless you specify an exact star.What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation draco?That is easy if you use "Google Earth" just click view, click sky and you will see all of the awesome constellation by the Equatorial Coordinate System
Draco is a constellation in the "far northern sky". Its name is Latin for dragon. Draco is circumpolar (that is, never setting) for many observers in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today.
Remember: The "Equatorial Coordinate System" is a popular method of mapping celestial objects. It functions by projecting the Earth's geographic poles, equator, and ecliptic onto the celestial sphere. This allows stars to be cataloged by objective locations (as opposed to the horizontal coordinate system, commonly known as an altitude-azimuth or azimuth-elevation system, in which stars' coordinates are dependent on the observer's location on Earth). The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, the projections of the Earth's North and South geographic poles become the North and South celestial poles, respectively.
There are two systems to specify the longitudinal (longitude-like) coordinate:
the hour angle system is fixed to the Earth like the geographic coordinate system
the right ascension system is fixed to the stars, thus, during a night or a few nights, it appears to move across the sky as the Earth spins and orbits under the fixed stars. Over long periods of time, precession and nutation effects alter the earth's orbit and thus the apparent location of the stars. When considering observations separated by long intervals, it is necessary to specify an epoch (frequently J2000.0, for older data B1950.0) when specifying coordinates of planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

New planet found in the constellation Perseus that has a dying, red giant star for a sun?
I recently read an article about a new planet found in the constellation Perseus that has a dying, red giant star for a sun. The article talked about how the red giant was expanding as it dies, and will eventually consume the planet as it moves ever so closer in proximity. My question is related to this event. The article said our sun is a red dwaft and will expand and comsume earth within the next 5 billion years. It states that in 2 billion years earth's seas will be boiling water. So, is it logical to assume that global warming could also be influenced, or the result of, the sun's expansion towards earth? Dividing 2 billion years by 93 million miles (astronomical unit) gives an average yearly closure of 21 miles. Could be average temperature change per year on earth be positively correlated with a mere 21 miles expansion per year by our sun? Also, what would be the resulting calculation of temperature change per year if that 21 miles were the only factor in earth's temperature change, disregarding global warming?New planet found in the constellation Perseus that has a dying, red giant star for a sun?Our sun will expand into a red giant (its called a yellow dwarf right now, not a red dwarf) in about 4 billion years. But when a sun expands at that point in its life its not a "21 miles per year" gradual thing. It happens actually fairly quickly after the sun uses up most of its hydrogen fuel. The sun is actually getting hotter right now, but at about 1% in one hundred thousand years. And its diameter is growing at the rate of about an inch a year.
The idea is interesting but not supported by our current understanding of solar mechanics. We would know if the sun were expanding at that rate - we can see the tiny expansion of an inch a year, so we would see 21 miles a year easily. And since there would be the same amount of energy being released over a larger area, the sun would become more red each year.
Unfortunately, global warming is caused in large part by human activities - trying to find a cosmic cause is simply refusing responsibility.New planet found in the constellation Perseus that has a dying, red giant star for a sun?blobal arming ????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Secondly, the progression of the diameter of a main sequence star from sun-sized to giant does not happen at a constant rate. The Sun will remain at approximately its same size and brightness for the next one and a half billion years, perhaps increasing some twenty percent.
At that time, the hydrogen in the center of the Sun will be exhausted, and helium "ash" will begin to accumulate in its center. This will go on for another four billion years, with the Sun increasing to three times its size and brightness.
Within a few hundred million more years, the processes inside the Sun will change again, and the Sun will make a rapid growth and increase in brightness to four hundred times its diameter and 1500 times its brightness within maybe thirty million years of that.
The Sun is not now expanding or getting brighter by any measurable amount, so it can safely be stated that the aging of our home star is not affecting this unproven thing called "global warming".

Latitude and longitude of constellation Crux?
I live in the northern hemisphere at 36.71 N, and I really want to know if the southern hemisphere constellation Crux is even slightly visible where I live. I know where Crux is fully visible, but I don't know where it's partially visible. Can someone please tell me if I could see it where I live? Thanks!Latitude and longitude of constellation Crux?you are 4 degrees too far north.
the nothernmost "cross" star is gamma crucis, declination -57 degrees. it is visible, at least in theory, from 33 degrees north. for the entire cross to be visible (again, at least in theory) you have to be south of 27 degrees north, where alpha crucis just clears the horizon.
in practice, this stuff would be down in the haze at the horizon. 20 degrees north is about the realistic northern limit.Latitude and longitude of constellation Crux?Where I used to live in Hawaii, it was slightly north of 20 degrees latitude. I could easily see the entire constellation low in the southern sky from from about late October until early June. Later, when I lived just west of Ft.

What is a cool constellation - with an interesting story behind it.?
For a science project. i have to give the story behind the constellation, and then part 2 is to make up my own story? any suggestions, i was thinking OrionWhat is a cool constellation - with an interesting story behind it.?Orion's a fine constallation.
The story of Orion says that he was a great warrior. So great, in fact, that Athena cam down to him and decided to grant him one wish. He pondered over what he wanted, and finally, he said that he should live forever, and conquer any enemy he wants. Athena was not too pleased with this conceited request, but decided to grant it anyways. Orion was raised into the night sky, where he now battles and defeats Scorpio every night.What is a cool constellation - with an interesting story behind it.?Orion's a good one, but a number of them are fun and interesting.
Do a websearch or three and you ought to find plenty of juicy ideas.vin number battlefield bad company

How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?
Aquarius is made up of 13 different astronomical bodies. I believe that 3 of the 13 are single star systems, whereas the other 10 points are actually made up of millions of far away stars (aka globular clusters). So, while we only see what appears to be 13 stars that make up Aquarius, there are literally millions, possibly billions, of stars making up that constellation.How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?Of course there are many stars within the constellation, which can be seen in dark skies or with a telescope. But Aquarius has 13 major stars (ones that can be seen with the naked eye) that make up the constellation figure itself.How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?89
What relationships do stars have in the constellation Cancer?
Constellations are arbitrary arrangements of stars as seen from our planet. Their association is only because they happen to lie in roughly the same direction, but they are mostly at different locations, hundreds of light years apart.What relationships do stars have in the constellation Cancer?Other than they are all in our galaxy (like all the other stars in the sky), none.
What is the name of that cruciform constellation?
Near the end of Fall, Cygnus points down (neck and head towards the NW horizon) for observers in moderate northern latitudes. In this configuration, it is known as the Northern Cross in many European cultures.
The Southern Cross is a cruciform constellation in the Southern hemisphere (visible from as far north as Hawaii and Barbados, for example).
There are also 'asterisms' (forms that are not constellations, like the Big Dipper) that look like crosses. The best known is called the False Cross. It is made from bright stars in Carina (the Ship's keel) and in Vela (the Sail); it is larger than the real Southern Cross and rises a few hours before the real Southern Cross.
For navigators going southward, eager to see the Southern Cross (because it points due south), they had to be careful not to be fooled by the False Cross. Once both crosses are above the horizon, it is easy to tell the real Southern Cross from the false one.What is the name of that cruciform constellation?Cygnus the SwanWhat is the name of that cruciform constellation?Do you mean the Southern Cross that is also pictured on the national flag of New Zealand?

Actually there are two: Crux (the Southern Cross) in the southern sky and Cygnus (the Northern Cross) in the northern sky. I'm not sure which one you're referring to, though.

Tell me the star constellation they say is being represented by alignment of pyramids?
I want to know which constellation or stars and the pyramidsTell me the star constellation they say is being represented by alignment of pyramids?Like the pyramids, the three stars of Orion are not perfectly aligned, the smallest of them is slightly offset to the East.
All three are slanted in a Southwesterly direction (Note the exact match in the animation).
Their orientation to the Nile recreates Orion鈥檚 orientation to the Milky Way.
The layout of the pyramids, and their relative sizes were a deliberate design plan, and not the result of three king鈥檚 enormous egos as been preached as dogma by the so-called Egyptologists.
Robert Bauval has spent the last ten years investigating the pyramids themselves and the Pyramid Texts, the oldest writings known to mankind.
He and Adrian Gilbert have uncovered for the first time the key to the plan that governed the construction of the pyramids. They reveal in "The Orion Mystery" that the pyramids were much more than just tombs: they were nothing less than a replica of Heaven on Earth (The constellation of Orion, or known to the Egyptians as Osiris).
With great astronomical precision, the pyramids were created to serve as the pharaoh鈥檚 gateway to the stars.

The three Pyramids exactly simulate the stars Delta Orionis [Mintaka], Epsilon [Alnilam], and Zeta [Alnitak] that comprise the Orion Belt.

At the same time, the Nile would have corresponded with the Milky Way.

i want to know which part of the sky the aries constellation is found in during each of the seasons.In what part of the sky is the aries constellation found in during each of the seasons?Each constellation moves in a complete circle around the sky every day of the year. Obviously we can only see it at night, but it will still travel across much of the sky during that time. The stars moving from east to west, just like the sun. The most convenient time to view for most people is evening up to about midnight. At this time you can see Aries:
Winter, Aries is towards the west setting after midnight.
Spring, Aries is difficult to observe because it is near the sun.
Summer, Aries rises in the east after midnight

How do they predict when Mars will go retrograde and in which constellation will it this autumn?
and how many times will it move back and forth?
also, if anyone can explain . i dont understand if the planet is "seeming to move backwards" due to our planet passing it in the sky, how does it then seem to move forward again?
i dont understand the second part.

How do you determine a whether or not this is a star constellation?
i'm writing an article, i'm a journalist. i need help immediately, please help.How do you determine a whether or not this is a star constellation?Whether "what" is a star constellation.
But there is no such thing as a 'star constellation'.
A star is a star.
A constellation is the shape humans make in the random distribution of stars in the night sky.
There are 88 official named constellations in our night sky, every star visible with the naked eye (and even with powerful telescopes) has been assigned an identifier and constellation.
This was done back in 1920 or so accepted by the scientific community.How do you determine a whether or not this is a star constellation?Considering that there are billions of stars scattered more or less at random in the sky, any pattern of dots can be made to match some group of stars in some way.
So if you have a pattern of dots, you can be confident that they would match some pattern of stars somewhere in the sky, and therefore comprise a constellation.
If you want to know what stars in the sky match your dots, then unless they happen to match the prominent stars in the sky, you would need to run some kind of matching program to find the answer.

What constellation is the easiest to see for the longest period of time from Morehead City North Carolina?
There are several. Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, and several others are far enough north to be visible year around. Morehead City is about 35 degrees north latitude, so any stars with a declination exceeding 55 degrees will be visible year round.What constellation is the easiest to see for the longest period of time from Morehead City North Carolina?Ursa Major is the constellation, the Big Dipper is the most recognizable part of it.What constellation is the easiest to see for the longest period of time from Morehead City North Carolina?I would have to say the Big Dipper, too.What constellation is the easiest to see for the longest period of time from Morehead City North Carolina?The Big DipperWhat constellation is the easiest to see for the longest period of time from Morehead City North Carolina?
To be honest, your question needs a little clarification or at least the answers need qualifiers.
While I agree the asterism, The Big Dipper, is easy to recognize and the fact that it is in the sky almost every night, the fact that it is often low on the horizion makes it problematic to see if there are trees or haze. As for the rest of Ursa Major, unless you actually know what you are looking for, it can sometimes be difficult to see.
The most recognized proper constellation would be Orion. But Orion is not visible all year round, however when it is visible, it passes high into the sky and is very easy to spot.
So I would suggest that consider both of those candidates and then go out and decide which one you want to pursue.

The most recognized proper constellation would be Orion. But Orion is not visible all year round, however when it is visible, it passes high into the sky and is very easy to spot.
So I would suggest that consider both of those candidates and then go out and decide which one you want to pursue.

If you live in the West Midlands (UK) how do you know which constellation you can see?
There's a particularly bright star in the south/south west but don't know if it's part of a constellation!

Is It True That Heavenly Music Was Heard From Orion Constellation?
I understand that event was not reported by NASA. I dont know about the truth of this.Is It True That Heavenly Music Was Heard From Orion Constellation?Given that the stars that make up Orion aren't an actual group (rather, a line-of-sight coincidence that they make that pattern), it can't have come from the constellation itself... and, if it came from one of the stars in Orion, it would have to travel through space, and sound waves don't really go well through space...
I'm not surprised it wasn't reported by NASA, simply because it can't have happened.Is It True That Heavenly Music Was Heard From Orion Constellation?I seriously doubt itIs It True That Heavenly Music Was Heard From Orion Constellation?No, no, no... from the Orion Satellite - it's a pay-service satellite radio. They play AC/DC too.
