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.
