Can I find the land mass directly under a constellation, how?

Google Earth and look up would be nice or a map of the constellations that would go down to earth would be even better. Does anyone know of a site with this available? Thanks.Can I find the land mass directly under a constellation, how?You'd have a hard time, because this would change minute by minute as the Earth rotates and the sky appears to move from east to west.



Go to this site. http://www.fourmilab.ch/yoursky/



You have to know your latitude and longitude, but if you live near any sort of sizeable city, Wikipedia will have that information. You enter a few variables and VOILA, instant sky chart.Can I find the land mass directly under a constellation, how?Oh I get it now. This is what you want, the online Stellerium to show where in the world you are and what you should see:
