Is the constellation Puppis circumpolar or not?

I am doing a school project and need to findthat out.Is the constellation Puppis circumpolar or not?If you are a resident of 'Antarctica', then the answer is 'YES' (from there).Is the constellation Puppis circumpolar or not?Defining the region of the sky that is circumpolar depends on the latitude of the observer.

If we use L (in degrees, usually) to represent the latitude of the observer, then any object with a declination greater than (90 - L) will be circumpolar.

Puppis is a constellation that stretches from declination 12 S to 50 S (approximately)

Therefore, it can only be a visible circumpolar for an observer in the southern hemisphere (and it may be invisible circumpolar - meaning "it never rises" - for an observer located far enough in the northern hemisphere).

---

90 - 12 = 78

An observer located south of 78 S will see ALL of Puppis as a visible circumpolar (always above the horizon).
An observer located north of 78 N will NEVER see any part of the constellation.

90 - 50 = 40

An observer located south of 40 S, will see some part (but not all) of Puppis as circumpolar.
An observer located north of 40 N will always miss the southernmost portion of Puppis.

(At exactly 40 N, the southernmost part of the constellation will barely make it above the horizon, so that the entire constellation might be visible, but only for a few minutes - for at least six months of the year, these few minutes will be during the day...).Is the constellation Puppis circumpolar or not?Whether _any_ constellation is circumpolar or not depends upon where you, the observer, are located. Puppis is in the southern hemisphere and covers a wide range of declination. Parts of Puppis are circumpolar from about 45掳 S latitude; all of it is circumpolar from 79掳 S latitude.Is the constellation Puppis circumpolar or not?
There is not enough information for me to answer you. You need to tell me where you choose to do your observations.



Circumpolar means that the constellation never meets the horizon, no matter what time of year, no matter what time of night.



If you view from the equator, nearly no constellation is circumpolar.



If you view from the south pole, nearly every southern hemisphere constellation is circumpolar.

If you view from the north pole, nearly every northern hemisphere constellation is circumpolar.
