What is your favorite constellation, and why?

I like Orion. It is fun to say the names of the stars. What is your favorite, and why?What is your favorite constellation, and why?Ophiuchus.



It contains Barnard's Star, and it is really the 13th zodiac signWhat is your favorite constellation, and why?
Canis Major - the greater dog.

In CMa, there are two of the most important stars we know:

-Sirius, the brightest star on the night sky (star, not planet)

-VY Canis Majoris, the most massive star we know about. It's a red hypergiant that is almost 2,000 times the size of our Sun. If the Sun would be represented by a sphere with the diameter of 1 meter, then VY CMa ould have a diameter of approximately 2.3 kilometers.



Also, my second preference would be Orion.

Orion, the Hunter, is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous, and most recognizable constellations in the night sky.Also, I like it's shape.What is your favorite constellation, and why?Mine would be the Carina constellation, because it is home to one of the most beautiful nebula, the Eta Carinae Nebula, home to one of the rarest stars, Eta Carinae.
Cassiopeia..it's not just because of its beautiful name but the story behind it that makes it my favorite. the story reminds me about promises; promises which are sometimes/rather meant to be broken and the resulting consequences of it.. :) if your interested with the story, visit: http://www.dibonsmith.com/cas_con.htmWhat is your favorite constellation, and why?Orion, because its a simple, but interesting constellation in the sky. It also has an interesting star, Betelgeuse, and also contains my favorite nebula, Orion Nebula.What is your favorite constellation, and why?
...my favorite is the Lockheed C69/C121 Constellation. (first built in January of 1943) a magnificent "Constellation" !
orion because of the metallica songWhat is your favorite constellation, and why?
Delphinius, 'cause it really does look like a leaping dolphin.
I like Scorpius because it really does suggest the shape of a scorpion.
