Do we see a differant major constellation in the sky at night for each month the Earth travels around SUN?

and do we see only one of the 12 major Constellations in the sky at night for each month as predominant??



talking about the 12 major ones, Scorpius, Sagitterius, Libra, etc.





and when one says the Moon is in Gemini how can it already be in Taurus the next few nights?



please explain.Do we see a differant major constellation in the sky at night for each month the Earth travels around SUN?Yes. The constellations change with the seasons. Which constellations were rising at sunrise was how the seasons used to be measured. The sun moves through about 30 degrees every month,so the stars lying just behind it seen from Earth are always changing. Actually it's the Earth that's moving but it looks like the sun is moving to us,just like when you're in a car and the scenery goes whizzing by,but really it's the car that's moving. The 12 constellations of the Zodiac are the ones the sun appears to pass through. There is another one not usually included by the astrology people, caled Ophiucus (pronounced....oh-fy-ooo-kus) which the sun passes through very briefly.........We can see the constellations each side of where the Moon is,because each one only covers a bit of the sky. The Moon is in Taurus now,but we can see Gemini quite close to it. We can't see the constellation the sun is in because it's daytime then,of course,so those stars don't show. The Moon moves about 12 degrees a day,so if a constellation is twenty-four degrees across in the direction the Moon is travelling it takes two days for the Moon to cross it. Altogether the Sun,Moon and Planets can appear in 22 different constellations,not just the 12 that astrology people use. So that mucks up Astrology big time...don't tell them,they get annoyed,,,haha...I explained it at an observatory in Chile to a crowd of visitors because the lecturer didn't have enough English (they speak Spanish there).....the woman who asked nearly fainted,,,all her life she believed it was 12,and they forecast everything properly.....hahaha...poor woman.......Some of the constellations are quite small,and some we can't see properly in Uk. Scorpius only half rises here..we can't see the bottom half with the curl of stars called 'the sting'.because it's too far south. Aries is very small. Taurus is one of the bigger ones. On that link with the constellations,find Scorpius in the drop-down menu...all we see in UK and North America is the top bit,down to to just below the bright star Antares.which is marked with a letter 'a'...actually it's alpha in the Greek alphabet to denote the star as the brightest in the constellation.......In Taurus,Aldeberan is Alpha Tauri to astronomers. The second brightest is Beta Tauri, and so on. There's a number sytem too,so it all gets a bit confusing.

Where can I find a Navajo constellation map or website?

I'm Navajo and have a topic on Native Constellations or do u know them------%26gt; if you're Navajo.Where can I find a Navajo constellation map or website?You can try contacting John Stocke, a professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He did a presentation several years ago at the Fiske Planeterium on the CU campus about the Navajo constellations. Just send him an email stating you are a student doing a paper/project on the Navajo constellations but are having problem finding whatever it is you still need. He might be willing to help you out or point you to someone who could better help you.



He taught once at the Navajo Community College so he will probably be sympathetic to your cause. ;)

What constellation can i see in NYC when i look up?

Im planing to name a star (in the national start registry) after my girlfriend for Christmas. I live in Queens, NYC and i want to know what constellation should i name this star in??What constellation can i see in NYC when i look up?You might find a site that will sell you a fancy piece of paper that says something like that but it is NOT REAL and a COMPLETE HOAX to get you to give them your money. No one can name a star. This is only someones way to scam you out of your money. Do not do this.



Spend your money on a membership to a local astronomy club or Astronomical Society instead. You will get so much more for your money than just some stupid piece of paper.



If you join a club, you can attend a few of their star parties and try out members scopes as well as members will help teach you where the treasures in the sky are located. Most clubs have loaner scopes and extensive libraries that you can gather more information from too. Most clubs will have monthly membership meetings with informative presentations given by members and by guest speakers. You can really learn a lot from these clubs and an added plus is all the great new friends you make there too. Go to this site to find a club in your area. http://www.astroleague.org/societies/lis鈥?/a>

This only has clubs that belong to the National Astronomy League, so there are many more which do not appear on this list. Continue searching google if you don't see one in your area here.



Our club hosts many public star parties every year and there is usually some poor schmuck who fell for this fake scheme and they will bring us their fancy looking piece of paper and ask us to show them their "star". We have yet to be able to distinguish even one of these as a valid star coordinate with one distinguishable star. These hoax sites don't even use real stars for the trash they sell. It makes me so mad that there are people out there who are getting rich on scamming people like this. Most that I have seen have tiny tiny print that says "for entertainment purposes only" so they can't be arrested but I have even seen some that don't say that.



Please do not give these crooks your money. If you must do something like this, then just print your own fancy piece of paper. If you must spend your money, then buy a membership to a club so that you can learn to enjoy the stars for years to come.

This is great freeware that you can download. Tell it where you are and it will tell you what you see. Ask it where something is and it will show you. This FREE program will tell you exactly what constellation you are looking at every night for years to come.What constellation can i see in NYC when i look up?You can't. There are many websites that say you can buy a star, but they are scams. They claim you named a star and give you picture of it, but you never named it and that picture is probably just a picture out of an astronomy book with a random star circled. They also "sell" the same star over and over to many people a lot of the time.



The IAU (International Astronomy Union) is responsible for naming stars, and if you supposedly give one a name no scientist or astronomer will ever use it when referring to the star. The IAU, who are the only ones that are responsible for naming stars (meaning the companies that say you adopted one have no right to sell or name them, even if they have an supposedly official "star registry") does not endorse or support any companies who claim that you can adopt a star.



The IAU does not sell or allow the rights to sell stars or name them, and never will.



The International Space Treaty of 1959, signed by most nations (including America), says that nobody can claim land in space (but that people can explore it).



You cannot adopt a star, I'm sorry.What constellation can i see in NYC when i look up?The only thing you will buy with that ...is a $54 dollar considerate gesture to your girl.......unfortunately....you don't get to choose which star they will unofficially put your name on.



They will send you some type of star type chart with a little indicator on it...showing where "your" star is....but....you will never see it in the sky if you looked...and that reused star will never be "officially" recognized by any official organizations.

What is a constellation for finding the north star?

Perfect answer. I always use the big dipper to find the North Star. In the northern hemisphere, the big dipper id visible during any season and at any time of night. It is an easy to find road-map for finding the North Star.What is a constellation for finding the north star?People have long relied on the North Star to navigate, or find their way, when far from shore and familiar territory. But Polaris is not a very bright star, so it can be difficult to find. Luckily, the Big Dipper can be a big help. The Big Dipper is found in the northern sky, but of course it's not always in the same place. Sometimes the Dipper will be upside down or on its side, and the closer you live to the equator, the lower in your sky it will appear. From most places in the Northern Hemisphere, the Big Dipper should be visible high in the sky from late winter through early summer. During these seasons, the Dipper will be on its side or upside down. If you live far enough north, you will see the Dipper through summer and fall, when the cup is upright.



Find the last two stars in the Big Dipper's cup and imagine a line connecting the bottom star (Merak) to the star at the lip of the cup (Dubhe), then continuing toward a medium-bright star about two fist-lengths away. This is Polaris, the North Star. Some people mistakenly believe the North Star is the brightest star in the sky, but it's not very bright at all. If the sky is dark enough, you might be able to see the constellation in which Polaris is found, Ursa Minor, or the Lessor Bear. Ursa Minor is home to the asterism the Little Dipper. Polaris is at the end of the Little Dipper's handle, which arcs toward a small cup made up of four stars. On the opposite side of Polaris from the Dippers look for a squished "W," which is the constellation Cassiopeia. If you learn to recognize these three constellations around Polaris, you should be able to find that star no matter where you go in the Northern Hemisphere.What is a constellation for finding the north star?Find Cassiopeia. There are three bright stars in a line. Imagine that line to be a bow and Polaris the head of an arrow it's shot. Polaris will be the brightest star along a line perpendicular to those three stars.What is a constellation for finding the north star?Yes, as Bradley said, Preetiepink's answer was very good -- because it was copied and pasted from this site.

Why cant you see your constellation on your birthday?

also, where is the leo constellation in early august?Why cant you see your constellation on your birthday?Because 'your' constellation is the constellation the sun is in on the day you are born. So the stars in your constellation are only above the horizon during the daytime. As I'm sure you know, you cannot see stars in the daytime because they are lost in the glare of the sun. Leo is near the sun in the daytime sky in early August. By the way astrology is bullshit.Why cant you see your constellation on your birthday?Like others said, the sun is in that constellation, so there's too much brightness from the sun. Here's a diagram which explains the perspective of where earth and sun are. Earth is the blue dot:



http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/zodi鈥?/a>Why cant you see your constellation on your birthday?Because the Sun is in it. That is what it means to be a Leo. It means the Sun is in Leo on your birthday. Naturally that means the Sun is up if Leo is up, and you can't see stars in the daytime.Why cant you see your constellation on your birthday?
uh you can if you know where to look for it and if your in the right area of the world.

Constellation Orion is called Rigel. It is 900 light-years away does Rigel still exists?

Lim told Yolanda that he bright blue-white star in the constellation Orion is called Rigel. It is 900 light-years away. Yolanda then wondered whether Rigel still exists. What answer could Lim give Yolanda?Constellation Orion is called Rigel. It is 900 light-years away does Rigel still exists?All true, but I think the point of this junior high conundrum is simply that Lim shoud say we can't be sure. We would know, when we DO see it explode, that it exploded nine hundred years ago.Constellation Orion is called Rigel. It is 900 light-years away does Rigel still exists?I answered this in another post but I'll give you another perspective this time.



Long ago %26lt;if you are using outdated textbooks which I presume is the case%26gt;, scientists and astronomers alike believe that supernova events occur only in red supergiant stars. This was the case until SN 1987A occured in the Large Magellanic Cloud. They identified the progenitor star as a B3Ia star, clearly a blue supergiant. This led to the revisiting and revision of stellar evolution models which suggests that massive stars can enter blue phase after a red supergiant stage and back again. This relates to the onion-layer like structure in the envelope and internal structure of massive stars. Rigel belongs to this class of massive stars. Our best bet is that this is its first ascent into blue supergianthood and that it still has some time before becoming a red supergiant and back again. It will mostly likely not explode in our human lifetime.



More recently, stars called luminous blue variables are found to lurk ina nd around the galaxy. These very massive stars of over a hundred solar masses remain "blue" all the time and so their explosive events would occur at this stage. SN 2006gy is a prime example of a hypernova event for this kind of stars. Eta Carinae is our prime candidate for such an explosion which astronomers even believe might have exploded already if not in the next 10,000 years.



Clear skies!Constellation Orion is called Rigel. It is 900 light-years away does Rigel still exists?Rigel is a bright star, but it still has a lifetime of many millions of years. We see it in a relatively early part of its lifetime, and even after the main sequence phase, it will still have many millions of years to go as a red giant before it goes supernova.



So yes, it still exists, for sure.

What are the stars in the Cassiopeia, the constellation?

if you know, which one is the brightest star?What are the stars in the Cassiopeia, the constellation?Alpha Cassiopeia (Shedar) Magnitude 2.2

Beta Cassiopeia (Caph) Magnitude 2.3

Gamma Cassiopeia (Gamma) Magnitude 2.5



Those are the brightest three, a lower number in magnitued is a brighter star. These are "apparent" magnitudes (how bright they look from earth, and not how much light they produce, since light gets fainter by the square of the distance, and they are not all the same distance from us).



So, from earth, Shedar is Cassiopeia's brightest star.
